If you’re handy with a soldering iron, here is a neat hack to create an LED flashlight out of 3 AAA batteries, an empty Tic Tac dispenser (doesn’t have to be orange), a resistor, an LED, and a microswitch. I’m tempted to actually give this a try since I have all of these items lying around the garage – might be a fun way to kill a few minutes.
