Touch light help

[johnlouie]

Hi,

Years ago I remember making a touch light that used a transistor, 6 Volt lantern battery, and an LED. I think I got the plan from a Radio Shack book. touch the wire once and the LED turns on, touch again and it turns off.

Now with the bright LEDs available, I was thinking about making a touch bedside nightlight for my kids. Anybody out there know of a circuit that would accomplish this? I can't find my 20+ yr old radio shack projects book.

thanks,
John Louie
