The 'Green' Flashlight - 5 Bright LED SOLAR-Charged!

by Senter

Product Description

Definitely NOT a 'gimmick' flashlight - this one puts out a lot of useful light and the rechargeable batteries (included) have impressive storage and output capacity (we actually had more than the manufacturer's stated 3-hour battery life in our tests). Sleek, easy-to-hold design - can't roll away on you and includes built-in compass. 6"-length, 2" width, 1-1/2" lamp-head.

I aleady own a wind-up flashlight but it always seems like such a chore to wind the thing up. (recharge it's batteries)

I bought a few of these for gifts and one for myself. At $10 each they seemed like a bargain if they offered up any level of brightness.

I opened up the obligatory clamshell packaging and placed it sunnyside up under my desk lamp for a few hours to give it a fighting chance at having a charge.

While I doubt you can damage your retina with one of these, It was very bright on my daylight acclimated eyes and should offer plenty of light to find a lost remote or whatever you need a light for at that moment.

I've found that run times on flashlights are almost irrelevant for most uses, since all but the biggest projects involve less than five minutes of use at any given time.

I've more often had to deal with batteries that require a recharge or a fresh wind. A daily solar top-off should meet all my most demanding needs.

They seem fairly well built, but I can't say much about durability on day one. I would be surprised if it doesn't last at least a year or two, depending on battery type and how much heat it's exposed to.

As an Amazon prime member it always bugs me to have to pay extra for shipping but even with that hurdle, I have no regrets at this time.

I've owned this light for at least six months now and I love it. It is small and very easy to hold. I had it packed up in a box for a few weeks after I moved and it still worked, without sunlight all that time. In fact, I never put it by the window anymore. It gets enough light just sitting around the house, which makes it super convenient. I will truly never buy a battery powered flashlight again. The only problem is that I wish it was brighter, but even so, it is great for navigating around the house in the dark, peeking behind furniture, etc. I would highly recommend this flashlight to anyone, it is WELL worth the money- which is another plus, that I didn't have to pay much at all for it!

I bought this for $5 or so. Pretty cheap feeling. For price though, ok I guess. Not very bright.
