Red Echo

August 4, 2012

I had this random idea for a new kind of flashlight: like a headlamp, but for your hands. I was thinking about how at Burning Man there’s often this awkward moment where you meet someone and both blind each other before remembering to point your headlamp some other direction. What if instead you strapped the light on your hands, so it would point at whatever you were pointing at? I picked up some webbing and elastic and dug through the parts bin, and this is what I’ve got so far. I’ll cover the electronics and battery holder with a little swatch of canvas once it’s wired up.
