Discount BestDealUSA 7 LED High Power Solar Power Flashlight Lamp Torch

Customer Ratings:

I ordered this and a competing black plastic solar flashlight at the same time to try out solar powered flashlights. If you're my age, you might remember the joke "That makes as much sense as a solar powered flashlight!"

This puts out almost as much light as those Eton Microlink emergency flashlight radios. Walking across the back yard at night, you'll see where you're going with ease. But if someone's a ways away from you on a walk with your dog on a dark street, you won't be able to identify much about them--it's dim and has limited range. Overall, the light is dim and has no bright center focus, though it's not entirely diffused; it's focused. But realistically, if you're walking down dark streets at night, you'll want a tactical 1-watt flashlight or better. What attracted me to it was that it looks like metal (and it also feels like metal, though it's very light for metal) and has an almost retro-modern look to it. Plus it was cheap enough to try out without it having any reviews on here. It's genuinely old school in terms of LED tech too, though. Modern, quality flashlights utilize single LEDs, usually that are flat and square, that put out exponentially more light than this one's compliment of seven very low power LEDs do. Also, note that it's susceptible to humidity according to the owner's manual, so it's less than ideal as an emergency flashlight. Those Eton Microlinks are also humidity impaired, BTW.

The other I tested, also available on here in 1and 2-packs, is the Solar Lite flashlight. It's sold in a 2-pack by Hybrid Light for $25 at the time of my writing. Made of black plastic, not metal. Bulkier than this flashlight, and a little more expensive, it's significantly more functional. Firstly, it has a button battery power backup in case your emergency comes with a more urgent short term emergency after the primary battery has failed. More importantly, though, it's SEVERAL times brighter than this flashlight, waterproof, and I even confirmed that it floats by filling up the kitchen sink and dropping it in. IMO, it's worth the few extra dollars.

So, if you're looking for solar flashlights as part of your emergency preparedness kit, this is not the one. But if you want a "green" flashlight to light your way in normal circumstance as an everyday battery-free tool, this thing's adequate and downright visually attractive.

The three stars indicate that "it's ok" by Amazon's standards.

I loved this flashlight for the month it worked. I velcroed it to my dashboard so it charged all day and then it was readily available at night when i needed it. But alas it stopped working after 30 days.
