Find It/Don't Lose It project -- EPE Online February 2000

A fuse blows and the lights go out. Everything goes dark. You fumble for the torch – you know it’s there somewhere – but where?

Let this little gadget show you where! With the battery-powered Find It circuit, you will always be able to locate a torch (flashlight), bunch of keys, door lock – just about anything – in darkness!

While sufficient light reaches a sensor (light dependent resistor -- LDR) on the unit, nothing happens. However, when it is dark enough, a light-emitting diode (LED) begins to flash briefly about once every five seconds. This helps to locate the item.
