Peanut Butter Monster Detector
The Peanut Butter Monster Detector is a combination bedside night-light and audio/visual effects generator for reassuring frightened children. If a child is unexpectedly awakened at night, they can easily trigger the unit with a single pushbutton. Once triggered, the unit floods the room with bright white light while it emits sounds, flashes LEDs and rotates a scan head to the accompaniment of a reassuring spoken dialog. After the unit gives an "all clear", it becomes a bedside night-light that slowly fades out after a few minutes.
