I'd program it to be a flashlight and then wonder why I bought a $99 flashlight.

"i love fleshlight... i never see a fleshlight with usb port... "

[juki0h]

ill just stick to my candle

[tinglisable]

put link in description plz

[Markdall71]

Dude... check out something called CPF or candle power forums. People spend WAAAAAAAY more than that on flashlights.

[Markdall71]

Nope. It's an 18650 and Amazon has them for about $15, and of course it's rechargeable.

[Markdall71]

Meh @ the nextorch,which uses a GUI. Dragging and dropping the light levels isn't really "programming" it.

This flashlight (I got mine from the kickstarter) is programmable in C using Arduino software. It's got an ATMega168 chip in it.

[tinyphantazma]

meh, nextorch has made usb programmeble flashlights for years.

shutup idiot

[John Pozadzides]

Well, whenever I get one I'll let you know because I planning on getting an extra battery to go with it! :-)

[rybekki]

They probably get thous for free so they must tell us it's cool -_- or CES 2012 is so boring that there is nothing interesting there to show us...

[rybekki]

YYYYYyyyy no it is not cool... maybe for 15$
