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.

I just returned from a camping trip. It performed as advertized except it underperfromed verses an other LED no battery shake flashlight someone else brought. It did not hold the charge as well. It was twice as expensive, much heavier, and larger. It had a much less focused beam. It requires a lot more work to get useable light. Two quick shakes and the other one worked. The only advantage is this one seems more durable. However both got dropped and both continued to function.
