london based designer oscar diaz is working on a project where he re-designs objects bought at a 1 pound
shop in london, including this tiny flashlight. the larger project was created for an exhibition called
‘10 x 3: 10 jours, 10 objets,  £10’ at the ‘a suivre…’ gallery in bordeaux, france. the standard flashlight
is one of the results from the project which is based off a single 9 volt battery. rather that emulate a more
expensive product, the design is simply an extension of the battery. the 9 volt battery is an ideal base
since it is the only battery with a clip that doubles as a connector. the lamp simply clips onto the battery
and uses it for power. glow-in-the-dark paint shows the polarities of the battery and a small strap helps
the user keep hold.
