I had wondered about using a light like that for that purpose. Sounds
like a good idea. I have one too. (Lost the clip though) Makes for a
good small flashlight.

I a crank type radio recently. (Eton FR300) It has a 2 LED light on
the face plus a tiny blinking red light. It's almost laughable to
think it would be seen, but it would be interesting to see how far
that carried.
