Well, if he wants to go the Junking route, I'd say that he could use a
flashlight (a reasonably strong one, though), a small parabolic reflector
(to collect the light into the fine point), and a lens of whatever color he
wants it to be to change the color of the light (Hell, celophane could even
work).  Then just give it the Light power (I really think they should be
called something else, like "Functions"- "Powers" just doesn't work), since
it's really just a light.
