The design of this flashlight was inspired by a generic, run of the mill, LED light found in places like target. Having said this, I wanted to keep a lot of the same properties as the generic light but improve upon the design. The improvements include stylized engravings, shock resistance, and a non slip technology.

The construction of this device, done in Rhino, is primarily made up of cylinders with the exception of a couple of truncated cones and spheres. I started with the inside barrel, which is hollow, at the dimensions of 3" long and .98" wide with a wall thickness of a 1/4". Considering this device is perfectly round I constructed the entire thing from one flat profile. Once I was happy with the shape of the profile I used the REVOLVE command to complete the cylindrical shape.

Like I said, I was trying to keep this device as close the generic aluminum flashlight as possible; therefore, when I brought the model in to Keyshot I appropriately used an aluminum body which also keeps the device lightweight. Additionally, I added rubber rings near the top of the light as well as rubber studding near the base. Both the rings and the studs help improve slip resistance and shock absorbancy.
