A value torch but very effective.
This tiny torch is able to is able to beam intense light in 'close to' situations e.g. finding things in awkward places and positions. I use rechargeable AAA cells in this torch and recharge these using a simple solar charger. Note that the torch relies on fairly high current through the 9 LED's and so the battery contacts must be kept clean. Note also that the body is aluminium and the thread to battery compartment is delicate - treat it gently.
In the picture you can see the one of the three rechargeable AAA cells, also note the the luminous spot which is an adhesive pad bearing 'glow in the dark' powder mixed with Araldite. This latter enables the torch to be found in the dark - very useful in hotels.
I ticked the 'durable' box above which I think is fair for normal use but the torch is vulnerable to being dropped on hard surfaces or being crushed which can distort the delicate thread to the battery compartment. Give it some protection if you include it in your travel gear.

UV LED's Have Enormous Potential for the Experimenter
Many experimenters cut their teeth on circuits for LED's that emit in the visible spectrum.
Ultra-violet LED's add an extra dimension to this as they can effectively excite modern 'glow in the dark' powders and liquid solutions of fluorescent compounds to emit visible light. I am having some very interesting results from exciting 'green glow in the dark' powder applied to the internal walls of small bottles to make very efficient night lights that are gentle on the eyes.

Useful, useful, useful!
I was given one of these as a present some years ago and it recently fell to bits after useful service. I was delighted to find that they are still available and so got another one.
It is kept handy here for help in fighting a way in to packaging.
It would make a very useful stocking filler present.
