Simpeak Emergency Flashlight Hand Crank, Portable LED Flashlight Hand Crank Solar Powered Dynamo Carabiner Energy Rechargeable Torch for Camping Climbing Hiking [Energy Class A]

This torch is amazing. It's great for camping, in your boot, or in a household power cut. Very lightweight, really bright, extremely sturdy and can be charged by winding or through its solar panel. One of the best things I've bought this year. I'm going to buy some more as gifts. I'd 100 percent recommend.

Nice as described

I bought this to replace a previous hand crank torch which died after several years use. I use a torch frequently and this type saves a lot of money on batteries and avoids the hassle of having to remember to recharge batteries. It is a little awkward to crank, more so than my previous torch, as you can catch the crank or your fingers against the casing or your other hand.It is lightweight and compact. I have only given 4 stars for durability as I have not had it long enough to properly judge this. To me, it is excellent value.The light is bright, much brighter than my previous torch, particularly after charging it up, although it fades a little quite quickly. I find it gives a useable amount of light, enough to read a label or find your way through a dark area, for quite a while and can be cranked back up to full charge quickly.The one I received does not have any capability to power a mobile phone, something I would never use anyway. It does have a small panel which uses light to boost the charge. This doesn't do a great deal unless you leave it on a windowsill all day (and the sun is shining!) but using it is optional anyway. The clip is a little awkward to open wide enough to clip the torch to anything convenient but could be useful. If I needed to clip it to a belt or jacket I would use a seperate carabinier.All in all, I am very happy with this torch and woud buy another.

There is so many reasons why you would want to own one of these emergency flashlights. You could use this Simpeak LED flashlight around the house during power-cuts, use it when you're out camping. or even keep it as a backup torch in your vehicle in case you break down. This is just a few reasons off the top of my head but I'm sure there is lots more.The torch arrives in a plain cardboard box with some instructions inside. It feels sturdy and I think it could handle life on the field. It charges directly from the sun but you can also use the Dynamo crank to recharge it when you're left in the dark. The LEDs are not the brightest in the world but they are bright enough to get the job done. If they were any brighter then the torch wouldn't last long between charges and nobody want to spend all day cranking their flashlight.The carabiner is a nice touch, It means I can attach it safely to the outside of my backpack or waistbelt for quick and easy access.

In my experience this torch has never let me down. I leave it facing a window and have not had to wind it to charge. It's bright enough for my use and on the whole a great little torch which I'm more than pleased with. I've had this since April 2018 now and it's still going strong, still haven't had to wind it and it still faces the window and still works well. Its rare to get something as reliable as this. I guarantee it's still going strong and I still haven't had to wind it and it's now the end of May 2020.

We went to some caves and each took a Torch. I was one short so bought this one. Now the product is ok, works fine but was a little disappointed with the brightness in fact my daughters IPhone torch add on was brighter than this, in fact it was the worse out of all the torches. But saying that this is designed to be an emergency torch that hand cranks and in an emergency it would work but all depends on how much light you need

I like the self-contained nature of this torch, with no batteries or external charger required. Living as I do in the countryside, I find the beam perfectly adequate for safely walking across unlit fields, which I think is as good a test as any of its ability! It is light, pocketable, easy to grip and has a useful carabiner. It powers itself largely by solar power when left on a window sill; I top it up by winding it for about 5 minutes weekly, which is easy enough to do. A real bugbear of mine with torches is when they go through a sequence of on/low/flashing/SOS/whatever/off; I'm happy to report this has a simple, no-nonsense on/off switch! Well recommended.

I needed something for occasional use in my rucksack without having to worry about battery life. I’ve tried other similar torches but they proved to be to flimsy. This feels better made.
