Viral Flashlight

Glancing through a catalog this morning I stopped turning pages when I saw the tricked–out [Don't you think he uses that term along with "but I digress" way too often? Yes, but what can we do? He just doesn't seem to listen or, if he does listen, he doesn't seem to care enough to change his behavior] flashlight pictured above.

Looks like an ordinary yellow flashlight until ta–da!, you slide the ring on the end down and unfold the legs into a handy–dandy tripod that supports a red electric flare with one–mile visibility.

The only thing I'd have done differently is add a flashing function to the switch to make the red light even more noticeable.

Uses two C batteries (not included).
