The multi-functional **Castlight** suffers from an identity crisis: it wants to flaunt the new [eco-friendly LED technology](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/geolectric-lantern), but it cannot let go of the romance of candle lights.

By placing the Castlight upright on its base, you get a stylish candle holder. When you need to use the flashlight portion, simply twist the handle and hold it by its rubberized grip. You can even use it as a candle holder and flashlight simultaneously for an ambient effect.

I like how the design disguises the technology under a traditional piece of decor.

The Castlight operates on 3 AAA batteries and sells for [$50](http://www.kikkerlandshop.com/fl11-gr.html).
