One of the eight rough ideas turned into a grenade!
After I drew it out, it made me think how it would work...
I can probably epoxy a latch from a fire extinguisher since they have those pins.
The light bulb can be disassembled and i can put a LED in it.
It'll be powered by a CR2032 battery,
and the trigger will be put under the latch so it'll go on when you release the handle.
This should be simple if I can find the right materials

The light bulb was more complicated than i thought it would be.
There is another chamber in the aluminum part which is made of glass that holds the filaments in.
