Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Shake Flashlight
Customer Review: Works great for what I need
Summary: 4 Stars
JJ is right - this flashlight is cheap. It isn't very sturdy. The switch is cheap. The cord is cheap and it doesn't give off much light. But it is exactly what I need time and time again. With a few shakes it is always ready to go. It is perfect for my car or motorcycle tour pack. I have several.Customer Review: Not so great
Summary: 2 Stars
I've found that this flashlight isn't as great as was originally thought. The concept of a 'never depend on batteries again flashlight' is great but this flashlight is not going to be replacing anything in my home. The shaking of the flashlight doesn't hold a charge for very long and despite the LED lightbulb and special lens, the light itself is not very bright. The charge doesn't last very long at all. Despite that, while the body of the light itself may be indestructable, the switch broke off withinn the first month. I've found that crank flashlight last longer, are brighter, and are all around just better eco flashlights and thats what I'm replacing everyhting in my house with. I would suggest everyone else do too. Don't buy this, buy a crank light.Customer Review: No Batteries? Riiiiight!
Summary: 1 Stars
Appears to take No Batteries. You're just supposed to shake it. On closer inspection it is just a hoax.
I bought three and two of them worked. The third didn't hold up to my 3 y/o playing with it but I was able to get it working again. The light switch is a little weak and will probably break again with constant use.
And as a children's toy you can't beat the price but don't expect to use it as a REAL tool or for emergencies - it's just not reliable.
Not a good purchase choice for those environmentally concerned because once it stops working you just throw the whole thing away! Shaking it doesn't do a damn thing.
If you want a good flashlight bargain today I suggest instead you get the 7-LED lights currently selling for about $2.50/ea at most auto parts stores. They REALLY throw some light for the size and you can use standard or rechargeable batteries.
Customer Review: JUNK LIGHT
Summary: 1 Stars
Here are the facts:
-The coper coil that is supposed to re-charge the battery is NOT connected to anything, so how can it recharge the battery?
-The thing that slides in side the handle when you shake the flashlight is supposed to be a magnet so it can generate electricity. It is just a piece of metal.
-The battery's that are inside the light are standard non-rechargeable type batteries, so even if the other components were in working order, the battery could not receive a charge.
These are total JUNK and should not be purchased if you have any intention of trying out the "ever life" type device. You really can not get quality for this price, I should have known better.
Customer Review: JUNK
Summary: 1 Stars
I got two of these from my Thank you Points reward network..same lights. The one came with a screw shaking loose inside but the real problem is that these flashlights lasted one day. They no longer hold a charge and when they did...not very bright. They are not true battery freel shake lights. You can see the 3 little button cell batteries inside..and these are what I think was giving me the little bit of light at first..Absolute junk..cheap plastic feel, switch is cheap..nothing quality about it. Came with a box with typos all over it..not address of the company. Do not wasted your time or money on this junk.
