I'm looking for options for a flashlight for my kids. My oldest is turning 4 this September, and I'd like to get him a light for his bedroom. It's somewhat for fun, but also somewhat so he has a way of finding toys that have gone under his bed, etc.
My primary concerns are:
* Safety!! I don't want to blind him or burn him. The light can't get so bright that it would be dangerous to look at the emitter, so perhaps an emitter that doesn't show the LEDs directly but rather reflects them on an orange-peel background?
* Auto-off feature (because he will surely leave it on frequently - 10 minute cutoff?)
Secondarily (these seem pretty easy to satisfy):
* Rechargeable (18650? 26650? USB?)
* Durability (he's going to be rough with it, but then again, it won't be a mission critical light. I just want something that won't break if it gets dropped off of counter height / ~1m)
* Easy to find (not some tiny thing)
* Fairly wide beam (so it's easy to use)
Thoughts?
