I've never needed a flashlight (torch) at night.
Just turn on the headlights and there's enough bounceback from the footwell that you can see enough to fasten seatbelts, etc.

In the UK at least you'd have your fingers dropping off if you drove around in the dark without warm gloves - making it pretty useless.

I was thinking the same thing but it looks like you would be able to transfer the mechanicals to another glove and just scrap the actual glove part.

Reminds me of Santa's magic glove. [url=http://reallysanta.blogspot.com/2009/04/santas-magic-glove.html]http://reallysanta.blogspot.com/2009/04/santas-magic-glove.html[/url]  That's not me in the pic, but I've got a pair of these gloves (and I'm not telling how it works!!!)

I always make sure I carry a good small torch though in case I get stranded and it goes dark or I need to peer in some mechanical nook.

cool idea!

This site is advertising the "Glovelite" (yes, it is lamentable American commercial spelling, but there it is). [url=http://www.glovelite.com/]http://www.glovelite.com/[/url]

The glove has an LED flashlight built into it.  Yes, it is designed for aircraft use, but might it be useful also for us?

It is minimalistic: it fits that Atomic criteria.  Since the Atom has no interior lighting, might the "Glovelite" fill a need?
