When the power goes out and you finally find your flashlight, it’s invariably out of batteries. Soon you’ll be able to buy a solar-powered flashlight from Chinavasion. It’s got a built-in lithium-ion battery and uses white LEDs with a rated life of 50,000 hours.
It could very well be the last flashlight you ever own — assuming, of course, you don’t misplace it somewhere in your house like I have with every flashlight in the history of portable illumination.
The “Solar LED Flashlight” is still in “coming soon” status and must initially be purchased two at a time. No pricing info yet, unfortunately, but as long as it’s reasonable, this thing might be worth a closer look.
Be sure to have plenty of beer on hand for that impending power outage, too. Preferably Carlsberg. Ah subliminal marketing, you’ve done it again!
