My Class 4 entry: The Toylet

A picture of the finished "flashlight":

Brief description of the "flashlight":
The Toylet is a pink plastic toilet bank I bought at Right-Aid, outfitted with a yellow/amber 1.2 watt Luxeon Star /O LED, and is direct-driven from two AA cells. When the flush handle on the cistern is pressed down, the Luxeon lights up, emitting light from the bottom of the bowl. This is a momentary-only switch; when the flush handle is released, the Toylet ceases to emit light.
