How it Works

Light from the sun travels down and into the adjustable "sun-catcher" disc. This light is then re-directed through the main shaft of the torch where it is magnified by the cone of power and distributed into your viewing area.

How it works

See your home magically light up !

No batteries required.

Handy Hints

1. Spot spiders hiding in dark corners

2. Find lost money down the back of your sofa (not gauranteed)

3. Shine it through a neighbours window and create glare on their TV set

4. Avoid using at night unless there is a full moon with enough light to power the torch

5. If you must use it at night, the torch can be powered by everyday electric lighting

Disclaimer: The Monkey's Brain accepts no responsibility from people who shine their torches in their own or other people's eyes. This can cause temporary blindness and lead to purple images being seen on white walls for a short time. If this happens and you are disturbed by the visions please consult your Doctor for stronger medication. Alternatively, paint all your walls purple. This product should not be used as a toy. It is a serious scientific experimental device and should be used with extreme care. If the power of the torch is overwhelming please put it away and rest for up to 1 hour before restarting. Light beams are dangerous in large quantities, especially when narrowed into a thin laser stream. Luckily this torch does not do that unless the instructions are not followed correctly on building.
