I was kinda worry about taking 3 of my children out for treat or tricking because we live in a city ( dfw area) and the folks here are always seems to be very busy when driving. Then when i saw my daughter playing with the candy jar and drop her OWN incandescent disney princess flashlight ( yeah i start her too early) in there i got an idea.
This helps me easier to keep track of my kids, it is not easy trying to keep track of 3 sugar-high energizer bunnies in a halloween night with kids running around. All i did is using painters tape and tape any small flashlight in the bottom of the candy jar. Painter's tape come off easily and doesn't leave a gooey stuff behind
But the REAL question to some of you flashaholics, I "know" some of you can't wait to take the kids out for treat or tricking tonight, Which flashlight are you taking?
I"m bringing my favorite Sunwayman V10A and the DRY fatty (I love that form factor)
We went out on Friday Night. It was cold and dark.
I gave each of my children a Life Gear Lightstick to wear. It's like of like the old chemical light stick design, but it runs on (3) AG3 batteries. I gave them all Orange to wear since it was halloween. Here is what they look like in green...
Halloween is always a great time of the year to corrupt innocent little minds - by turning them all into flashaholics! You can never be to safe with your kids and LED's are a great way to make them more visible. But why stop there when you can also tangle them up in EL wire?
Kits are very reasonable and can be found on ebay and many other places. I was thinking about putting some on one of my bicycles.
Myself, I won't be carrying anything crazy bright. This is Sparta, uh, I mean suburbia - I don't want to blind people and I don't need throw. Probably something in a AA form factor or maybe some multi-mode P7.
Why waste your time with those silly little lights while killing your night vision? If you really want to blind everyone on the block, why not just install one of these on the roof of your car?
