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!

Thank you all for your thoughts. I found this one by varta https://www.amazon.de/Varta-lippenstiftf%C3%B6rmige-Taschenlampe-Handtaschenlicht-Schl%C3%BCsselanh%C3%A4nger/dp/B00TSXLQ0S/

Handle glows in the dark and it outputs 19 lumen according to varta. Sounds low, but I'm aware it still requires supervised use. Which is fine I think. Swallowing parts isn't much of an issue, the kid isn't big on that. I'll see if I can find it in a store so I can try how hard the button is to press

Nice, powered by 1AA. Keep some Eneloops on hand and you are good to go.
