Let's first start by disassembling the Hummer shake flashlight and getting rid of all the extraneous parts.

1. Remove the bottom cap (the one with the wrist strap) from the flashlight by unscrewing it. (picture #2)
2. Remove the top cap along with the lens by unscrewing it. (picture #3)
3. Turn the flashlight over and remove the two screws using a small Phillips head screwdriver. (picture #4)
4. Now, remove the plastic cap previously held down by the two screws. Hold on to it though as we'll be putting it back very shortly. (picture #5)
5. Tilt the flashlight towards the LED end and the inside portion will slide right out. (picture #6)
6. Take the plastic cap you removed in mini-step 4 and screw it back into place at the bottom end of the flashlight. (picture #8)
7. Flip the flashlight over and use a small flat head screwdriver to pry the lens out. Once the lens has been released, remove it with your hand. (pictures #9 and #10)

What you have now is simply the inner core of the Hummer flashlight but this will be the canvas for the rest of the project. It also still works as a flashlight. Give it a try!
