Got one. Check the main page.  :) - Lucky 6.9 20:04, 27 July 2005 (UTC)

ANyone got one of these, are they any good, is the light bright?

They're alright. It more or less works the way it's advertised, so it'd be really useful during a flood or black-out or whatever. The light isn't terribly bright, and it's kind of annoying to shake it all the time, though, so it's not something i'd use for every-day stuff.

I have one myself. They're great for the emergency preparedness kit that the U.S. Dept of Homeland Security states people should have, in case of civil unrest, natural disasters, terrorist attacks. Martial Law 22:31, 8 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] new name

Just saw the commercial for these things and it appears they've changed the name of the flashlight to "Faraday's flashlight" or "Faraday flashlight".--Kross^Talk 07:44, 6 January 2006 (UTC)

You can now find them in the local Wal*Mart. Martial Law 22:34, 8 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Rename

There are other companies that sell similar products. We should rename the article and cover all types in one article, or else merge it with flashlight. — Omegatron 13:26, 13 September 2006 (UTC)
