Adults are going to wish they were kids again (and that they have a crippling fear of the dark) when checking out the Wall Torch Sconce. This awesome nightlight doubles as a flashlight and has the same exact look as the torches used in countless adventure movies. Fact: Any good explorer or mythological action hero has used a torch to explore a cave or temple at some point.
The Wall Torch Sconce is powered by two AA batteries and is made of plastic. When not in use as a flashlight, it can function as a nightlight and features a self-timer that shuts off after 10 minutes. The Wall Torch Sconce pulls triple duty as a flashlight, nightlight and toy, making it ideal for little kids (and adult geeks) with active imaginations. It's currently available for $19.99.
