It is funny. I bought this for 20.00 and shook it for about two minutes or so and only received about 5 minutes or less of light. I left it in a cabinet and found I had to shake it more that ten minutes to give about a minute of charge. I later bought a pair of induction type flashlights from a vendor at a motorycycle show and these were 100% better and at only 5.00-10.00 each.
The Diamond's plastic housing is much more robust but the inside circuitry is flawed. It should be redesigned. Perhaps I received a defective one but I would not buy this again.

It Works out the box for about 2 cycles of which each only last about 7 mins b4 it starts to die. Now shaking it for 3-4 mins and it barely holds the charge. The chinese knock of version i got for $1.99c works great. Been going 3 months now with that 1.

Maybe i got a dud. Or maybe its really a new form of aerobics cause after all that shaking i think lost 12lbs.

LIVING IN FLORIDA I BOUGHT TWO OF THESE EVERLIFE FLASHLIGHTS. THE PARTY THAT SAID THAT THESE FLASHLIGHTS ARE CHARGED UP DURING SHIPPING IS SUFFERING FROM SHAKING OF THE HEAD. IT TAKES AT LEAST A MINUTE OF SHAKING AFTER DELIVERY BEFORE THE FLASHLIGHT IS GIVING OUT ITS MAXIMUM AMOUNT OF LIGHT WHICH IS VERY LOW. AFTER THAT TO KEEP IT OPERATING MORE SHAKING IS IN ORDER. THE ILLUMINATION WHICH IS VERY LOW COMPARED TO OTHER BATTERY FLASHIGHTS DIES OUT VERY RAPIDLY AND NEED ADDITIONAL SHAKING TO KEEP IT GOING. THIS FLASHLIHGT TO BE FAIR MAY COME IN HANDY DURING A HURRICANE POWER FAILURE. LED FLASHLIGHTS THAT USE BATTERIES ARE FAR SUPERIOR TO THESE SHAKING FLASHLIGHTS.THE BATTERIES LAST A VERY LONG TIME DUE TO THE LOW POWER THAT LEDS OPERATE AT.

Bought this for my Dad in Florida so he could use it in the hurricanes. When he tried to use it this year it didn't work. I only bought it 6 months ago. Try the Excaliber brand of this product. My husband's had his for two years and it works great. Just ordered one through HSN.
