The friction joint was having a hard time, so there was another redesign with a bigger pressure point.

A new dream came along to make the height telescoping.  Paperclips have become a lion favorite for making 2 parts slide next to each other & stay in position. 

The flashlight collection is ready for the summer's rolling blackouts.
