Duracell Wind Up Flashlight

[Matt In Oklahoma]

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.



oh and no making fun of my carpet neither Klayton LOL

Hoot making a run to Lowe's tomorrow for buckets (picked up 250lbs of rice today), definitely going to look for some of these.
Thanks Matt!

I'm going into town tomorrow and will keep an eye out for one of these.

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.
