    Have you got some specs? If it's just the ones you can pick up for a quid, and are pretty rubbish, I'm not interested, if they are good I might be.

    I'd need a solid review on these, the couple I have and still own, are crap.

    similar to

    this is not a fancy torch but the plastic is rigid and it doesnt fall apart in my hand (unlike my dynamo torch)

    water resistant

    it has two modes, single or triped LED. one minute of winding produces 90 mins of single or 30 of triple use. (I have not tested this)

    it says with proper use it can be recharged up to 1000 times (I have not tested this either)

    Made by Active Products

    with postage these will be going for about £6

    You can get those sort of torches from Wilkinsons for about £4, I have one just like that from there.

    Tengu, thats like one I had from woolies, don't listen to the blurb on the pack, you don't get anywhere near that burn time, they are rubbish. If your not committed to buying them I'd forget the idea, but thank you for the offer.
