Har. Was that a typo in the penultimate sentence? “Okay. I’ll admit it. I just think the LEG flashlights are cool, and I’m trying to get you to buy some.” :D Conflated LED, LEGO and where the light comes from?

The power around here tends to be flakier than Tony the Tiger’s dandruff. Imma buy one. :D I have a boring silver crank light, but I can’t stand it on a table…

Power outages are so common in my neck of the woods – love this solution!

“Candles are great, inexpensive, and add a warm mood to a house.

At the same time, having candles lit up in your children’s rooms when everyone is asleep is probably not a good long term plan.”

They make LED candles. Most of them use AAA batteries and they run for over 100 hours with real risk of fires.

You might be surprised. It has an on/off button (the big lego logo on his chest).

I have to admit… I saw there was a “Lego Star Wars Darth Vader” torch, and I was MASSIVELY EXCITED at the idea of a Darth vader where if I cranked his arm, it would charge up his lightsaber to use.

I was a very sad panda when I saw that it’s not a hand-wound torch, it uses batteries. Lost opportunities for geekdom….

I love lego and so do the kids. I’m afraid if I get one they will never sleep because they’ll play with it all night long. I think that is definitely a mummy toy.
