After losing his left eye to cancer, machinist Brian Stanley decided to make lemonade and created a titanium prosthetic with an embedded adjustable color LED flashlight (controlled by waving an RFID ring in front of it) so he can illuminate the darkness wherever he goes (or look like a Terminator).
