Double Illumination
Junwon Yang’s Emergency Flashlight is designed to illuminate both the path in front of you and the one that you are walking on. To do this, the torch has lamps at both the ends of the shaft. However the one pointing to the floor is angled at 45 degrees; so if you have people following your lead, they can see where they are stepping. I think it’s a clever design for areas where it’s going to be pitch dark and as long as it isn’t a battery-drainer.
Designer: Junwon Yang

ummm… wouldn’t your legs block the illumination?
Johnny says
@Ray Depends on how you hold the flashlight. The arm naturally dangles on the side of the body, so it doesn’t appear as if one would have to twist their arm in any unnatural way in order for those behind to benefit from the second lamp.

Advice: Having someone proofread for 10 minutes max makes a world of difference in terms of presentation. Something with this many language errors should have just been written in the designer’s native language.

but… then we wouldn’t have some healthy laugh, would we? Still, Jason’s totally right.

In an emergency we want a reliability, efficiency and equipment with all the right features. First and foremost, the unit must be reliable and durable.
