I want to built an inexpensive flashlight as a project for 6 year old Cub Scouts. My intent is to use a piece of wood or pvc pipe with a couple of AA batteries, an LED bulb and some type of on/off switch. I know nothing about electronics and my question is what is the best combination of bulb/battery to use for a light that will last a few hours.
Also considering a couple of bulbs so they can switch between colors.
I'm need to keep this below a couple of dollars each.
Any suggestions how to wire this easily without soldering?
I'll be making about 10 of these. Any suggestions where to get parts?
Thanks in advance for any tips!
