Torch That Doesn’t Need Batteries

Ever been on a camping trip only to discover that your torch has run out of batteries? Then you need to go to the toilet and you end up falling into a rose bush wounding your pride and joy! I think probably a few of us have been there.

Well maybe there’s a solution. The wind up LED camp light only needs a little muscle power to keep your tent illuminated.

According to I Want On of Those:


“The eco-friendly wind mechanism will give you thirty minutes of ambient light from just one minute’s winding, and a full ‘wind-up’ will give you four hours of light. Its table-top design is augmented by a recessed hanging loop in the base, so you can pop it on a table, or string it up on a tree, the top of your tent, whatever. As well as muscle power, it comes with a 12v in-car charger, so you give it a quick boost in the car if you’re feeling too knackered after all that trekking to crank it up. It’s a smooth wind-up light that’s built to last, and is in our opinion the perfect camping light.”

Features include:

  • An eco-friendly, super reliable camp light.
  • 5 super bright LEDs with over 50,000 hours life.
  • Two modes: ‘Normal’ (5 LED Lantern), ‘Nightlight’ (2 LED nightlight with amber glow).
  • A 1 minute wind= 30 minutes of light.
  • A full wind gives four hours of constant light or 48 hours on ‘Nightlight’.
  • Splash resistant.
  • Comes with an in-car charger.
  • Requires an internal NiMH battery (included) with a 600mA capacity giving up to 8 hours continuous light output.
  • Suitable for ages 12 years+.
  • Size: 16 x 12.5 x 12.5cm.
