Simple mod turning a small flashlight into a reading lamp
Having never liked the concentrated beam of a flashlight to read a map or book by at night I figured this out and decided to share it.
Take a white plastic aspirin or other OTC med bottle and remove the lable. Then see how close a fit the lamp end of the flashlight is to the opening of the pill bottle. I used a paper napkin folded in a strip the width of the lamp head and wrapped it around it tight and it fit snugly into the opening. The white plastic "bubble" diffuses the light of the flashlight and gives it a soft white glow. Great for reading or prerusing a map.
