Flash Light Used as a Bedroom Night Light
To save groping about in the dark for my flash light when suddenly awakened in the night, I devised the arrangement shown in the sketch and by which a “flash” is used as a wall night light, without lessening its common uses. The holder B and the board A are of wood, and into the box is fitted a metal clip, C, to hold the light. A round hole of proper size is cut through the top of the box and the light set through it so that the bottom end rests in the clip, the tin ferrule pressing against it firmly. A light spring, D, makes contact with the upper terminal of the push switch without closing it. The apparatus is fastened to the wall, and insulated wires, soldered, one to the clip C, and the other to the spring D, are connected to a switch placed in a convenient position. This switch replaces that on the light. The ceiling serves to reflect and distribute the light rays.—B. L. Dobbins, Harwich, Mass.
