I've got twin boys who just recently turned two. They have had an interest in lights for months now, but the fascination seems to have passed that of the "hay, its a new toy" stage. They are constantly trying to steal my edc!
They have had keychain style 5mm led lights, and are currently using a cheap, junk Chinese light with 9 5mm leds running on 3aa batts. I'm thinking something nicer, and more durable is in order.
Here's the requirements...
Small... they are always trying to pocket their lights.
Rechargeable... for all the obvious reasons.
Durable... they are 2yr old boys. They break more stuff than a platoon of marines.
Economical... hard to justify dropping serious coin on stuff they are likely to misplace.
Relatively bright... we take walks in the evenings... we live on 40 acres.
Not too bright... they still don't have the "don't point it in peoples eye" stuff down.
If I could find something minimag solitary sized with decent output and runtime I think it might be what I'm looking for.
