It's nice because you don't always want a flashlight in your hands. Just set it on the counter and then you have your hands free to use the telephone, a radio, whatever and it illuminates the whole room. I see them in the camping department all the time, I think I'll pick up another, Walmart website lists them now for $12.35.

Thank you for this info. I lit a candle in a glass jar. Leaving it sitting there when I'm not in the room worries me. This is a much better idea.
