A Flashflight lighted flying disc

A Flashflight is a flying disc designed to be used for night-time play similar to a Frisbee, for recreational catches between two or more individuals. The Flashflight differs from a traditional Frisbee, however, in that it has a completely enclosed single ultra-high brightness LED and fiber optics designed to distribute light from the center of the disc to the outer rim. The red light (630 nm wavelength) won't interfere with night vision and is visible from all angles because all disk surfaces are illuminated - the top deck glows, there is a radiant array on the concave underside, and there are nine laser-like dots on the perimeter of the rim.
