The innovative, self-powered Sherpa flashlight features dual-system technology for fail-safe lighting!

  • Freeplay™ technology lets you convert your own muscle power into bright light; 2 min. of winding time provides 80 min. of light
  • The winder can be cranked in either direction, and the harder you crank, the more energy you create; indicator light shows optimum winding speed
  • Or fully charge the NiMH battery pack with a USB charger, sold separately; a 24 hrs. charge provides as much as 20 hrs. of light
  • A cluster of seven LEDs provides incredible light and never needs replacing
  • Two brightness settings, energy saving and full-on bright, offer a choice between efficiency and brightness

Imported.

Comments about Freeplay Sherpa X-Ray LED Flashlight:

I bought this light to take with me on a recent camping trip. I found the light exceeded my expectations of the 7-LED flashlight in nearly every way. The crank is easy to use, and the unit does have a USB connection where I quickly connected my solar panels (must purchase separately) to charge the internal batteries. The switch on the top of the unit is easy to use, even with gloves on. The aft button is the more dim setting, the forward button is the bright setting. Walking through the woods at night was easy with the light this flashlight gives out with decent beam penetration.

While some may complain that this product doesn't have the lumens of a halogen or krypton system, the fact that this flashlight won't ever need bulb replacements, or it's batteries replaced, means that in an emergency, this is the light to have.

Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend
