The FlipLight is an elegant pocket light, designed to provide a soft, wide casting light at night. Actuating the light is an incredibly satisfying user experience, involving a flick of the wrist that causes the LED to swing out, and the knurled handle provides an excellent grip. The light automatically turns off and on depending on position.

Processes Used: Milling, turning, knurling, and tapping on manual mill and lathe. Sheet metalworking. Metal sanding and sandblasting. Soldering. 3D printing. Designed in Solidworks.
