Here's a unique product--a flashlight that doesn't require batteries, has a "bulb" that doesn't wear out, and is "almost" indestructible. It is powered by shaking it and can operate underwater.
The NightStar is powered by moving a powerful magnet through a coil and storing the charge in a capacitor. Of course, all of this is built into the more-or-less normal looking flashlight. The bulb is a high intensity white LED (Light Emitting Diode) that has a lifetime of over 100,000 hours. The on/off switch is luminescent and will glow in the dark, making the flashlight easier to find and operate in the dark.
Although the beam is not as bright as the conventional battery/incandescent bulb flashlight, it will light a 6-foot diameter from a distance of 30 feet, and can be seen from over a mile. When charged for 30 seconds, it will provide light for more than 5 minutes. The NightStar carries a lifetime warranty and is ideal for outdoor enthusiasts and perfect for emergencies.
