By the time night falls, I'm immobile - so lighting unnecessary. Already own flip-flops with a beer opener in the sole. By the time night falls, I’m immobile – so lighting unnecessary.

I've gone through three pair in fifteen years. My fav style were the "Tevadactyls", which sadly have been discontinued as of 1997 or so. I'm not sure I'd ever pay $60 for the Teva name on my flip flops though.

I've always used the high-tech novel idea of a lantern or flashlight, in fact, I've been wearing a tiny LED version on a necklace for years. A waterproof Photon, which you can hold in your teeth if you need to use both hands. Have also used the exact same bottle opener for a lifetime. I've worn out several pairs of camping and hiking shoes, though. Blind gadget lust.

I love their shoes, perhaps more, with a goofy name like this. Although you're walking it it, perhaps the light will keep you from stepping in it.
