LED space-gun thing.

I won't lie...   I bought this light because it looks like a space-gun.

Try and guess what the circuitry inside is before I open it.

If they're going to shape it like a space gun they could at least have included a bike-light style micro controller to make it flash and do tricks

It reminds me of those toy "laser guns" you used to get as a kid, with the "flashing lights and sound FX!", using those little cob-blob 8-bit FM synthesis chips. I seem to recall I had one with multiple buttons/sounds, machine gun, laser gun, descending bomb, etc. and various lighting effects. Combining one of those with this light would give a neat little super-kitschy stage prop for suitable productions. :)

No one in their right mind would blame you for buying a light that looks like a space, gun! In fact, it seems like it might be an ideal base for something to build up into a proper space gun prop. Lots of room inside for additional gizmos. A coat of silver or gold paint and attach some industrial scrap for some theatrical or cosplay goodness! "Zap!"

Maybe an 18500 would do nicely.

I usually like Rolson products, they are perhaps one of the better cheap-ish makes. However, a battery life of 1 3/4 hours is rather poor. You could use Lithium-AAA, or rechargeables as you said. I think they could have including a charging circuit for the price of £16 - £20.
