Matsushita, a Japanese consumer electronics company (you probably know them better as Panasonic) has come up with a clever solution to an age old flashlight dilemma.
Here’s the problem. You always have a flashlight around the house, and you always have batteries. But, when the power goes out, the batteries you have are always the wrong size for the flashlight with the dead batteries.
Matsushita has the solution. They have won an Industrial Design Excellence Award for a flashlight that will use three different sizes of batteries. Imagine being able to rob the remote control or your CD player when the lights go out. The Matsushita National BF-104
will use C cells, D cells, or AA cells. When one size runs down or is unavailable, just turn the switch and you have access to a whole new power source.
The National BF-104 flashlight is only $8.00 and is available directly from the company. Too bad the web site is in Japanese!
