Heya illuminated fellows!

I'm looking for a flashlight for a 3 year old kid. So it shouldn't look to boring, something colorful is appreciated. But mainly I'm not sure how many lumen are okay or maybe there are some with a fixed diffusor or similar?

I'm not too sure about what kind of battery I'd prefer, I guess in this case it doesn't matter much.

Any experiences? Thanks!

I usually suggest a TS10 with a reduced ceiling.

For a 3 year old, I might suggest an IKEA JLUSA. It's a light with no batteries. Instead it has a hand crank to provide light. They market it as a kids toy. My kids had one when they were younger. Just went to look, and it seems like it is discontinued in the US, but is available in other countries. Depending on where you are maybe this is an option.
