Amazon Verified Purchase

This review is from: Freeplay Emergency Light Center (Apparel)

I had also read the reviews, gone to the Freeplay website and taken a gamble, twice! The first time I ordered these lights, the concept seems great. I have had Freeplay lights for years and thought these would make a great addition for my family preparedness. What I received the first time was a system where two of the three lights worked as described. The third light did not work on battery power but would only illuminate with the crank being operated. My though was to return these lights and purchase another system thinking that perhaps I had a bad batch. My second purchase, through another vendor on Amazon, arrived yesterday. Once again, I followed all the instructions again by charging for at least 12 hours. The result... all three flashlights not working.

A review of the Freeplay website indicates questions towards this end. their answer is either a bad battery or control board in the light. Their advise for repair; this is unrepairable.

In the end, don't buy this light. If you have one, test it to make sure they all work.

These Freeplay emergency light stations are excellent. These Sherpa LED flashlights have two buttons one is full bright and it is bright the other is a lower light level that saves battery time. The crank works great also because I've taken it on trips without a charger and when I crank it for a few minutes it'll burn for 20 minutes.

My son and I have both had these for many years...probably about 8 years and they are still going strong. My little grandkids take them to bed to read and in the morning they are still on!!!!

The charging station is great, you can mount it on a wall and it keeps all three flashlights fully charged.

I've read some negative reviews here and found them to have no credibility whatsoever. I even looked up all the reviews by one of the negative posters and found that every review he has ever posted is negative. All his posts are 1 star negatives.

Another poster with a negative review is reviewing some other light, not the Freeplay light station so that review should be ignored as well. Hope this sets the record straight.

This review is from: Freeplay Emergency Light Center (Apparel)

I originally bought the Freeplay ML1 LED Lantern, and the crank seized on me the first day I arrived in Uganda for my Peace Corps service. After a year my father came to visit and brought over this model. The ML1 was flimsy and poorly constructed, but the Sherpa LED felt like you could throw it across the room, and it would be fine. The Sherpa went on in Uganda for another year without a single problem.

Would highly recommend to anyone who wants a high quality crank light that lasts!
