Dynamo Wind-Up LED Flashlights
LEDs are super efficient and can last for decades; it’s the lighting of the future.
….but it still uses some power, and if there’s a way to eliminate that, you can be completely non-reliant on the gird; if just for lighting.
Enter Dynamo.
Whether you want to eliminate electricity usage all-together, or just want a wind-up flashlight for emergencies, these two Dynamo wind-up flashlights are perfect.
.
Dynamo IlluminatorThe first one, the Dynamo Illuminator is your basic flashlight made eco-cool.
It features three super-bright white LEDs, and great charging efficiency: 60 seconds of winding provides a full hour of light.
Dynamo also claims the LEDs are “unbreakable”. While I’m obviously suspicious of an claim as unbreakable, it’s good to know durability is a concern.
The greatest thing about this flashlight is it’s guaranteed light. It’s a huge pain to realize your flashlight is out of batteries in the middle of the night during a power-outage. Since this flashlight uses LEDs, you can expect at least 30,000 hours of burn time.
Great product to keep handy for emergencies.
You can get this from amazon for $9.99
Dynamo All-In-One Wind-up LED Flashlight
This really shouldn’t even be called a flashlight; it has so many other features.
In addition to 3 super-bright white LEDs for light, it also features an AM/FM radio, headphone plug, audible alarm, and even a cell-phone charger!
All these are powered by the hand-crank, providing a full hour of light on only one minute of cranking.
No batteries to worry about.
This is the ultimate eco-emergency device and can be a lifesaver in an emergency. No need to worry about external power!
This is available from amazon for $14.95

These are two great examples of eco-friendly emergency devices. More importantly, they highlight the benefits of using grid-independent power. The long-lasting LEDs with wind-up power ensures you’re going to have light when you need it. The all-in-one flashlight also gives you several more emergency devices.
Having these devices can really save your butt in an emergency, and you’ll be happy to know you’re helping the environment at the same time.
