LED bulb is a tribute to Uncle Fester

Much of the stuff that comes out of Hong Kong-based Brando ranges from the curious to the bizarre, but every once in awhile its insane R&D department will come up with something that tickles our fancy, like this battery-powered LED lightbulb flashlight that Technabob found. And it would do the same to you too, if you grew up with bad--sorry, "classic"--TV in the '60s.

We're alluding to our affection for the Addams Family's "Uncle Fester," of course, best known for being able to light up a bulb using his mouth as a socket. The ability to replicate that is worth the $6 price alone.

Jackie Coogan was America's greatest actor

And all you remember is the light bulb bit? That's Jackie Coogan, The Kid,
Oliver? His career spanned seventy plus years. http://www.imdb.com/name/

OLD News - Done in the 70's

They had this in the seventies with a small incandescent flashlight bulb with AA
batteries in a plastic shell that looks like a conventional light bulb. I had one!
