POLYPHEMUS FLASHLIGHT

(1983)


The design for this flashlight is based on sectioning an elliptical cylinder at a 45-degree angle to create a circle on which a rotating head turns. By bending the flashlight into an L-shape, it can easily be carried, and is ergonomically more comfortable to the hand and wrist. Built from separate parts snapped together, the flashlight can stand or lay on any surface while its light beam is aimed in any direction. Additionally, it holds a magnet inside so that it can be attached to a metal surface.
