I'm a millwright(industrial mechanic) and have been on a never ending search for a decent flashlight which is an integral part of my everyday tools. I had the idea that I could make one, but would need some help, so I came here, hope that is ok. Here are what I consider the must haves:
1. Fits inside a large pocket.
2. Rechargeable without removing the battery.
3. Magnetic.
4. The "bulb part" must pivot/swivel so I can point it while it's stuck somewhere.
5. Reasonably inexpensive, less than $50. There's a good chance it will get dropped or lost.
6. Doesn't need to be super bright.
7. I just want on and off, doesn't need to have variable light levels, strobe, play the violin, or anything else.
So I think I can handle making the case but am really looking for suggestions as to what battery/charger I should use and what "bulb" arrangement I should have?
I thank in advance anyone who takes the time to reply.
