what it describes as an "everlasting" wind-up torch which is set to make the frustration and inconvenience of dead batteries a thing of the past.
With its choice of power sources, the new Freeplay selfpowered lantern can be used and re-charged in exactly the same way as a conventional torch. But with the addition of BayGen's wind-up generator it becomes a flashlight that can be used anytime, anywhere and will never let you down.
With a "shine time" of up to two hours when fully charged, the lantern can also operate directly off its integral generator. Twenty seconds of winding gives the user about four minutes of immediate light, or the power generated from successive winds can be stored and used to re-charge the unit. The lamp can be charged conventionally via an adaptor.
The torch can be stored with the wind-up generator fully wound, to give immediate light even when the battery is flat.
Light is provided by a high efficiency Xenon-filled bulb and the weather-resistant casing is made from rugged ABS plastic and nylon. The unit weighs 2kg.
