  • Duracell Wind Up Flashlight

    This is a 3 LED wind up light that weighs in at 3 5/8s ounces and gets 20 minutes of light for 1 minute of wind up. Yes the light gets dimmer but the light itself is pretty good at 35 lums IMO. I got it from Home Depot for $8. Just another light that will work with no batteries no matter how long it sits in a bag, storm shelter or glove box.

        Go to Amazon.com and type in "2 LED Crankpowered Flashlight." They have pocket sized ones for $2.99.

          Yep played with it last night and even hours we turned it on and it still had a charge bright enough to use to navigate by for around 7 minutes. Later I was going thru my daughters bag and her lights were dead. She stated "my flashlight batteries are always dead" LOL so guess who just lost his new toy LOL. I will get some more, they are a vast improvement over the old ones in weight and keeping a charge.

              Thanks South Jersey Boy. Put 3 of these in my Amazon cart.

                Be prepared to change them out after about three years. The internal rechargeable battery does eventually go bad. I have a bunch of them I got at Home Depot about three years ago and they are starting to go south about now. Best to wind them at least once a month. The LED bulbs help in that they do not draw as much power as conventional bulbs do. I have them in all my vehicles and at home. Good buy. GB

                  It's a little more expensive ($20), but I found an Energizer combination flashlight/radio at Walmart:



                  Flashlight lasts about 15 minutes for a 1 minute wind and the AM/FM radio lasts about 5-7 minutes.
                  Keep one in the house and one in each of my gloveboxes in the vehicles.
