CHEAP HANDY DYNAMO TORCH

[Spandex228]

Whilst recently shopping I managed to find a nifty small dynamo torch, manufactured by a firm called UNI-COM. I purchased it for £2.50 in Robert Dyas hardware shop in Guildford. It is around half the size of an i phone and twice the thickness, and has a stick out lever bit which you crank, easily with one hand, so is ideal for one handed operation. One minute or cranking gives five minutes of light it has a little strap and 3 LED,S. The cranking lever has a swith to lock the crank in place when not in use, and you know what I really like it, rate and, reccomend it. The amount of light it kicks out is ok too, its ideal for a BOB back/up or spare torch or when first starting out in prepping. VERDICT FULLY RECCOMENDED just shows good ideas/items dont have to cost alot of money. When I figure out how to insert pictures onto threads I will, like I wanted to for this one thanks !

Do you know if it uses a rechargeable battery to hold the charge, or is it a capacitor?

"One minute or cranking gives five minutes of light"

Unfortunately I think it's very unlikley to be a capacitor if it's capable of that (and still costs under £3)
