| A wind-up flashlight from Freeplay |
| Sunday, 21 May 2006 | ||
 Xray Flashlight The forces behind the Freeplay Sherpa Xray torch know that even though us eco-friendly folks have rechargeable batteries, we still randomly forget to charge them and break down and buy the land-fill-happy Energizers. Which is why they created a flashlight that recharges using a wind-up technology. And if you, like us, still have a soft-spot for the clear-view world of Robotix where you could see how everything worked in your home-built robot, the Xray torch will scratch that itch with its clear casing that will let you watch your elbow grease get turned into light. It doesn't take too much elbow grease, though -- just 30 seconds of winding gives you eight minutes of light. For us, this seems like a great flashlight to stash in our car for emergencies. And the price isn't bad at just $29.99. Via Ecotopia .

I have two (not this model). One's a lot like this, the other one is a hand held emergency radio/flashlight combo. My second torch can also charge my cell phone also. I like that detail best.
