RotoGlo - Self-Powered Flashlight

Wednesday November 29, 2006
Holiday Gift Idea - The RotoGlo is a great little flashlight that belongs on every camper's checklist. My father-in-law gave me one of these for Christmas. I immediately thought how great this would be for camping. It's about the size of a cell phone, it's lightweight, and it requires no batteries. A few turns of the crank provides all the energy needed to light either 1 or 3 LEDs. An ideal emergency flashlight for backpackers, boaters, or campers. It also fits conveniently in a drawer, glove box, or tool box.

Wait a few months and it will turn to a useless gear, in another word the battery inside it does not hold charge, I had 2 of them that went dead after 7 months.

[Editor’s note: I don’t doubt what you say, but I have two also. They are going on two years old and still work fine.]
