Recycled Gatorade LED Flashlight

This is an LED flashlight I made for the LED contest. It uses either 6 or 10 LED's and has a metallic semi-dome to direct the light forwards and conserve as much light as possible. It is fairly compact and lasts a long time on a single 9v battery. Please vote for my instructable when the contest begins!! Comment, rate, and subscribe :) Check out my homemade snow machine!
