Wind Up Dynamo Camping Lantern - 12 Ultrabright LED

This 12LED Wind Up Dynamo Camping Lantern has a lot of poor product reviews. Is it due to the expections of those who bought this hand crank powered Camping Lamp or is it the design of the free energy Lamp itself?

Wind Up Dynamo Camping Lantern - product review

This wind-up dynamo camping lantern (lamp) is about 30 cm (1 foot) tall and can provide a lot of light but for a very short period. This is where the poor product review ratings come in for this free energy lighting equipment. To be able to produce a lot of light in a large area you do need to have a decent power supply, or, in the case of wind-up torches and lamps you need to put a lot of energy in. If you expect to be able to get a lot out without putting a lot in then whose fault is it?

Illuminati?

This mechanical powered camping lantern has 3 LED settings so you can adjust the brightness. By pressing the on/off button you rotate these ultrabright LEDs from 4 LEDs, 8 LEDs to the super bright 12 LEDs.

How much light does it produce and for how long? It can produce a lot of light but only for a minute or 2. Very helpful if your car has broken down or you need to find something you have dropped in a dark area. But it will not last long and you will have to keep charging it up.

One option that no one has discussed or seems to have used for the "Wind Up Dynamo Camping Lantern" is the fact that it can be powered by a DC6v (6 Volt DC power supply or power adaptor). If you can use this then it may make a very good alternative lighting supply for a garage or out house. The lamp is very bright it is just the fact that you have to put in a lot of effort to get a lot of light out but only for a short period of time.

Built-in comp ass

The Wind Up Dynamo Camping Lantern has a small compass built into the top of the lamps casing. Its real pants and is a total waste of time as it soon sticks and does not point North

Purr chase this product?

So should you buy this wind-up Lantern? It's cheap and it may work very well in a garage or attic if you have the DC power supply for it but I would not take it camping/hiking with me. It is fairly big compared to the light provided by other wind-up torches and lamps.
