Introduction: why do we need a flashlight? Well we need it everywhere, including dark streets, walking in the nights, searching for a lost ring or coin, looking through a dark window, searching for a big cockroach who has intimidated your children or even committing burglary! It was a jokeā€¦ I thought buying a powerful flashlight is expensive and if it is Chinese made it would be prone to failure, so why not making a cheap and funny one, so I have started to do it and it is incredibly easy as follows:
