LED flashlights could help

I give Zach great credit for having found a very creative solution. He thought that each Townhouse D resident should have a small LED flashlight with them to navigate the apartment after the sun goes down. Then we would not have to leave our hallway and living room lights on all night. This energy saving solution could easily be financed by the $100 discretionary budget that was awarded to use by the School of Science and Health.

I did some research and found this economy pack that we can order:

These super bright, LED key chain lights have a bright, white LED in the nose. Lithium button cell batteries provide over 23 hours of continuous light and years of intermittent light. The batteries are replaceable and the LED lasts 100,000 hours. Compact and reliable , the LED keychain light has a convenient swivel ring for attaching to keys, belt loops, bag straps and more! Great for help in finding the door locks, steps, and bathroom at night.

Features:

- Super Bright LED lasts 100,000 hours
- Lithium Batteries provide up to 23 hours of continuous use.
- Quickly attached to key chain or belt loop
-Light Beam visible 1/4 mile away
-Includes a swiveling metal keyring

All in favor?
As the days draw closer to the starting line for EcoChallenge '08, I've been trying to think of little ways we can conserve in a big way. A pressing issue in our townhouse is the lack of light that seems to choke the stairway and the main circulation spaces within our house. As a result of this we have resorted to leaving the kitchen or living room light on throughout the night or late into the night so that the guys coming in late won't trip up or down the steps. My solution to this problem is to purchase small key chain flashlights or small floor mounted lights that would provide enough light so that we can leave our kitchen lights off when no one is occupying that room. The small lights would give us enough light to find the larger switches if need be.
