Christmas Gift- 3 year old

[Deadshot11]

I'm getting my brother a flashlight for Christmas (non-flashaholic), and I thought it'd be fun to get his 3-year-old son a mini flashlight too as his first light.

Is 3-years-old too young for a first light? I think he'd really enjoy it, but am wondering if anyone else had any experience with 3-year-olds and lights. He turns 3 around Christmas.

Assuming it's a go, any suggestions?
Parameters:
-won't blind him if he looks into it
-click switch
-AA battery
-LED (for long runtime, his dad has AA nimh available)

Maybe a cheap 1 AA Luxeon 1 from dealextreme? Or a 1 AA 5-LED?

My 4 year old has confiscated my River Rock AA which is a Lux I. He carries it with him everywhere. Mini Flashaholic :twothumbs
