Ok for emergency (plan on shaking it alot). Not good as primary flash light. I have gone with another solution, which is a solar charges flash light, which I leave in my window ceil.

I recently purchased this flashlight and was very dissapointed about the design and quality. It takes whole a lot of shaking to produce supposedly a bright light. Charge doesn't hold for a long time either. Sometimes it turns itself on while it is sitting on the table. For those who wants to buy this flashlight, I would highly recomend you to buy "EXCALIBUR Forever Flashlight" brand . Same principle, superior design, much brighter and CHEAPER!!!!.

First thing is to not expect this flashlight to replace a regular battery-powered light (especially something like a Maglight).

With about two minutes of vigerous shaking I get about 2 minutes of bright light (but still nothing like a Maglight), 10-15 minutes of ok light (enough to read by or get around a room), and then the rest is not so useful. I've read other reviews that say it improves with use. I've gone through about five charge/discharge cycles so far.

The shaking seems to take far more effort than the cranking I've used on other generator lights but I suppose it may prove more durable and it is water proof which is nice for changing a tire in the rain.

It is great for the car or to have around the house as a light that will always work but so far it doesn't seem useful as a replacement for a regular flashlight.
