    and you need 2 hands, 2008-08-03 When I first got this, it was cheap and ok for occasional use, not waking up the household on night time wanders around the house etc. But it's not cutting edge (any more). As the previous reviewer says, it's not very bright. Also you need 2 hands - one to hold and one to wind up, which is not terribly convenient. I would recommend instead getting a dynamo type one which involves squeezing - you can 'wind up' and use with one hand and they only cost about £3.50 incl. p&p on ebay!
    Active Products 3 LED wind up torch, 2007-05-19 The light is adequate for use in the pitch dark, looking in dark cupboards, etc., but it isn't very bright. We certainly don't get anywhere near 30/90 minutes from one minute winding. More like 10 to 15 mins. of mixed 1/3 LED usage. I use it every day and it is useful, and I would buy again, but remember that it isn't a very bright torch!
    Does exactly what it says!, 2008-10-21 I've used one of these all summer for camping trips. Previously I used a standard torch with rechargeable AA batteries but these can have a habit of dying just when they're needed and it's expensive to keep buying fresh sets.
This torch is just the job. It provides sufficient illumination for in a tent, walking around a camp site in pitch black and has been very useful at home during power cuts. It's lightweight, reliable and dependable and I know it's there when it's needed so I won't be reverting back to conventional battery-powered torches.
I haven't timed how long it takes to wind but I've definitely had 30 minutes continuous use from it.
I've bought two more - one for the car, one for use at home and would recommend them to anyone looking for a torch for casual use which does what it says whenever it's needed.
