Step 3: Break down flashlight / trim housing
I wanted my shirt to not only light up, but be able to charge up on the go. I had originally planned on using a solar garden light (inexpensively found at most Dollar Stores), but I managed to find this solar flashlight which was much smaller and had a brighter light (also at the Dollar Store).
Using a flat head screwdriver I was able to easily pry apart the case and expose the solar panel and circuit board inside. The plastic nub on the flashlight housing for the key chain was no longer required and was trimmed using a sharp utility knife flush with the housing sides.
