 A Great Product October 2, 2008
This is the best hand cranked flashlight I've found. I've tried two other brands that were unreliable. The internal batteries seem to hold a charge for months at a time. Every time I pick it up, it will light without any need for cranking. I'm hoping to get many years out of it. Walmart should stock this product. I think that they did at one time, but do not stock it now.
 defective from the start September 30, 2008

This flashlight came with one led blown. The packaging states that the lifetime warranty does not include leds or batteries.
There is no information on where to purchase replacement leds.

Let's see, what would one need to know before investing a few $$ in a flashlight...
- good, ergonomic and nicely designed shape, fits well in my palm
- of course, no batteries to change or charge so there's one less worry
- the crank is easy to turn and, so far, the body is not cracking or falling apart because of the stress
- the LED's project nice, bright, bluish-white light
- you have 2 brightness modes: a 1-LED and a 3-LED mode
- durable
I bought 2 of these, some 4 months ago and they are still working well, as good as new.
The negatives? I can't think of any.
Hurricane Ike Tested and Approved September 18, 2008
2 out of 2 found this review helpful
Interestingly enough, I ordered and received this flashlight only weeks before Hurricane Ike knocked out electric power in most of the Houston area.
What it is:
A very reliable source of light if you need it. It is adequate for finding your way around the house in pitch dark. Some reviews complain that the LEDs are not very bright. Well, they are not as bright as a Maglight, but if the batteries are dead in your Maglight... you will be glad you bought one of these. It is adequate and dependable. It is still functional after countless cycles of use, dim, crank, use, dim, crank.
What it isn't:
It is not a replacement for traditional (brighter) flashlights and other light sources. You will want something brighter to read by. But if you don't want to trip over the dog in the middle of a power blackout, THIS THING WORKS. No it does not last an hour on a crank cycle. Did you really believe that it would? My guess is about 30 minutes, but frankly I have not timed it.
P.S. I have now used more than two dozen D-cell batteries and many of my Maglights are dead. (Ya would have thought that would be enough backup batteries, huh?) I wish I had ordered a couple more of these crank flashlights.

Not a good quality item September 18, 2008
If you are planning to buy this light you should know the real facts: It does work as indicated, however, the light beam is not that powerful (I've seen smaller LEDs perform a lot better) and the build quality is not that good (I've used mine only a couple of times and the crank shaft cover made of rubber is already falling off). It costs less than US$9 so you cannot expect Swiss made quality though.
For the money, it's not bad. However, I would spend a little more and buy a better light.
