I just bought some of those Faraday flashlights at the flea market.

Cheapies for $3 a pieace.

LED light is not as bright as a traditional light but it lights up a darkened room well enough.

Got home at 9am and turned 2 of the lights on.
At 10pm they were still burning and not that much dimmer than the one I shook up and left off.

I dropped one on the floor and temporarily broke it so these particular lights are not sturdy enough for real use but the concept is amazing.

I'm gonna look for some good quality lights for my kits now
