Hello,
I'm a flashaholic.... And as all flashaholics, it brings great joy to us when others around us (especially our kids) share the enthusiasm... My daughter always wants to play with my EDC, but its far to bright for a 1 year old to play with... So, I bought her a cheap $3.27 flashlight from Lowes. She loves it, and loves to wander over to dark corners in the living room and go 'oooohh' while she shines it at things.
However, the button is far too hard for her to move by herself, and she's only 1, so she doesn't quite have the "I need to do something before it works" mentality yet. So, I turn it on for her.
I looked around for a motion activated light, and couldn't really find anything that was handheld, or a toy. I found battery operated motion security lights, but that's not really what I was after. Several of her toys are motion activated, so I'm starting to think about a mod, if I can't find a real light that is already produced.
Anyone know of such a thing? I like the idea of motion turning it on, and then it eventually turns off (like her other motion activated toys). I'm just coming up short on what I'm trying to find. Her other toys that are motion activated glow, but she really gets a kick out of the spotlight affect that a focused flashlight beam provides.
Thanks all,
H.
