The 'Lumibaby' is a portable LED flashlight that comes in the shape of a tiny silicone figurine. The squeezable flashlight was developed by Japanese designer Kasahara Eriko, who wanted to add a touch of whimsy to traditional lights.
The Lumibaby is shaped like a tiny white figure and bears a striking resemblance to the Pillsbury Doughboy. To use the built-in light, simply squeeze the figure's silicone tummy. With just a single squeeze, the top of the figure will light up. The LED light will run continuously for about eight hours. The device is intended to be used as a portable LED flashlight or as a handy bedside companion.
Designed to bring joy to those who use it, this quirky flashlight makes it a little less scary to navigate in the dark.
