The Solar LED Flashlight

Of all eco-friendly gadgets, a lot of the eco-friendly lights are my absolute least favorite gadget.  Specifically the flashlights that are powered by being wound up.  They always seem to be far too dim to actually see what it is you’re doing.  Hopefully since this one is solar powered as opposed to the type that you wind up, they’ll be a little on the brighter side of things.  Certainly the number of LED lights that they crammed into this flashlight will help at least a little bit.

It has a total of 10 LED lights within it, one would think that would make it easier to see what it is you’re shining the light on.  The flashlight itself is 250mm long with a diameter of 28mm.  It has a built-in rechargeable Li-on battery.  Unfortunately on Chinavasion, they aren’t selling these individually.  At least that’s how it appears.  They give the price each if you buy 2 or more as being set at $9.79 a piece.  However, they don’t give the price of them if you buy just one flashlight.

I am still not convinced that the old fashioned lights with regular or rechargeable batteries are not better. So far, the wind up and solar powered lights I have seen are not bright enough as far as I;m concerned.

My lights work great and light up a room. I have seen this one – it does not work. The whole issue is not the number of LEDs – it is the power of the LEDs and the size of the solar panel.

I all suspect the performance of solar technology. It still has a long way to go. As far as i can see,led flashlights like these below are more brighter and stable than solar ones.
