Wrap Flashlights With Fluorescent Tape

You always seem to forget where you put the flashlight when there's a power outage. A good way to help you find useful items such as these in the dark is to wrap them in fluorescent tape.

I like the solar powered flashlights. I got one recently @ Big Lots. The best I recall is, it cost $8.Might have been $6 but either way, compared to the cost of batteries &/or keeping them charged it isn't very much! It's a mid sized light with a wrist strap.

This is such a "bright" idea; thanks, I wish I had thought of it much earlier.

There is such a glow in the dark tape & it does work if the item is exposed to daylight or bright light until the power is off.

I'm not sure flourescent tape would help, but I'm thinking glow-in-the-dark tape would help if there is such a thing. I guess you'd also have to keep it out in the open (vs. in a dark drawer) so the tape could get "charged up."
