Freeplay XRay Wind-Up LED Flashlight

Of all the wind-up, emergency flashlights we've tested, the Freeplay XRay Wind-Up LED Flashlight is one of the best. It's not only perfect for everyday uses, but it is also great for the inevitable Mother Nature-induced power outages that leave you fumbling in the dark. The flashlight's rugged clear case reveals not only advanced technology, but also superb craftsmanship. The XRay has seven bright LEDs that get all their power from a rechargeable wind-up generator — which means you never have to worry about batteries! A charge indicator LED lets you know when you are winding at the right speed for maximum winding efficiency. Just 30 seconds of winding yields up to 20 minutes of light. Lefties take note: the Freeplay XRay features a dynamo crank that can be wound in both directions! No more awkward winding with your right hand.

The XRay also features Dual beam settings: the high setting puts off a surprisingly bright beam and the low setting emits a useful amount of light for situations where you can get by with less light. For those of you who like to be proactive, you can fully charge the Freeplay XRay Wind-Up flashlight with the included AC adapter. When fully charged, you’ll be rewarded with up to 20 hours of useful light (3.5 hours on high beam), and can then just wind-up the flashlight to keep it going as long as you need it.
