Abstract: A remote control and flashlight has a housing with top and bottom portions. A periphery between the portions has at least one aperture there through. The top portion also has an upper face with a plurality of holes. The bottom portion has a bottom face with a window and a latchable covering. An infrared light emitting diode transmits a narrow beam of modulated infrared light having a central axis of dissemination. A lightbulb for emits visible light with a central axis of dissemination. A power source is electrically coupled to the infrared light emitting diode and lightbulb. A plurality of function buttons pass through holes in the housing with control circuitry being adapted to activate and modulate the infrared light source. An on/off button passes through a hole in the housing to activate and inactivate the lightbulb.
