This Little Light Of Mine…

Sometimes you need a big one.  Sometimes its not the size that counts.  Sometimes you want one that looks good. Sometimes it doesn’t matter what it looks like as long as it does a good job. When you least expect it, the need for one could pop up.  There are some that know exactly when they will need one and come prepared.  No matter what, one that performs well is essential.

A flashlight.

Everyone needs a good flashlight.  At First Place Supply, we have such a broad range of lights and flashlights, it would be difficult to NOT find what you’re looking for.  In every size and 15 colors, the possibilities are almost endless.

Looking for a handy lantern for those scary thunderstorms?  They have bright orange lanterns that are perfect for finding in the dark and have a circuit breaking mechanism so that if you knock it over while you’re stumbling around, it won’t waste batteries while you struggle to find a new bulb.  Or go with the traditional Sportsman Lanterns, a symbol of strength and durability since 1949.

Needing a flashlight to keep with you all the time for the unexpected?  They have a countless number of different sizes for any style pocket.  They have bulky personal lights that won’t crack, an added bonus for this option is they are 600% brighter than your everyday personal flashlight.  They have more slender, pen lights for the guys that love to wear their skinny jeans, and if your jeans are too tight to put anything in the pockets, this one also clips to your belt loops.  Ladies, they have Super PeliLite Flashlights that come in safety yellow for you to easily find it in your over sized purse.  And, of course, sleek black is always a good choice.


I can see clearly now the fog is gone

As I remember back to my time in college, I remember a very specific instance during an opera production.  My dear friend was playing the part of a mosquito, which was extremely humorous because of his size…  At one point in the opera, he is supposed to run away from a frog, which was played by a very small boy.  My friend added his own…flamboyant…touch to this act.  As he spectacularly swirled himself and his cape around, his enormous clod hoppers were swept out from under him, causing him to face plant, making a colossal crash, which shook the entire stage, and breaking his long mosquito nose.

Too bad my own grasshopper goggles were so fogged up that I could barely see in front of me and I missed the whole thing.  If only my director had bought some Wildcat™ Safety Goggles (Clear/Anti-Fog Lens) for my costume.  Between the open-close side vents, heat resistant material, and facial contour adjustments, those would have been much more enjoyable to wear for an ENTIRE opera performance.
