i purchased two of these..one for my car and one for my mother's... the crank is good b/c you dont have to worry about dead batteries in case of an emergency...both lites are very brite, easy to use, and compact...so far so good!
Great Flashlight. Bought first one for backpacking. Very light in weight and the three bulbs shinned more than adequate light and for a good distance. Held a great charge after cranking and sitting around for 2 weeks. Bought 6 more for vehicles, travel and home. Highly recommend.
One of the gifts I bought for my grandson's 6th birthdays was a red Mini Crank Flashlight. It was big hit. He was amazed he could make it light without batteries! His Mom says he is running around the house turning off lights so he can use his flashlight!
