I think the flashlight viffer post it, is really ugly.
Some other flashlights are awesome like the pinapple body of the SureFire L6 Porcupine (I don’t like the bezel and the switch, but the body is great). The Skulhunt Nightowl in black is really nice, the chrom version is to fingerprint-friendly.
The idea of the candle flashlight is really nice. I think I have to find some old flashlights on a flea market (for $1-2) and build some of them.
That’s exactly the light I thought of immediately after reading the thread title. However, I wasn’t sure if I’d ever be able to find it online. You nailed it!
