Someone came to my house the other day and brought in a strange thing he found on the ground. It appears to be some kind of self-contained LED light unit, but has obviously been pulled out of something else. Can anyone think of what it might be?

Pic related shows the unit after I cracked it open, with an expanded view indicating the way it was assembled. It's a small plastic housing coated in a softer rubber, containing two batteries wired directly to an LED light. There was a gummy translucent cap covering the LED that was attached to each half of the rubber coating, which separated into two pieces after being circumcised from the housing. On the opposite end is some kind of soft rubbery green knob that holds fast to both halves of the hosing. There is some thin, frayed plastic-bag material that is attached between the green rubbery knob and the housing.

This is a closer view of the circuit. Note that there is no way to turn the light off without breaking the device.

Last will be some closer pictures of the housing. Note that the inside is very dirty, which along with the rusty batteries indicate that this thing had been outside for a while.
(1/4)

Was there like a strip of paper between the batterys that needed to be pulled to come on?

No, and there was no slot in the housing through which such a paper could have been pulled.

4/4 here's a "spread" showing the dirty inside and the way the two halves of the housing are connected by the green cap, with the plastic bag material emerging from the point where they are fused.

Someone lost their keychain LED light, that is all. you press the green thing to squeeze the batteries together to turn it on.

It's an LED with some batteries, why would you care what it's for?
>>
>>1155478
Interesting but no. It's not a "button" that presses, it's fused to the outside of the hard plastic shell. See >>1155465 for a closer look.

>>1155480
It doesn't turn off, so I am very curious about what it could have been used for.
>>
deff, LED ballon, or some dollar store party accessory with an LED, Glowing Icecubes or something of the sort
>>
>>1155542
I just showed you what it's used for.
