VARTA LED Dynamo Light (3x 5 mm, with hand crank flashlight hand lamp light, with crank - 100 percent battery independent - suitable , power failure, camping, outdoor), Black/Silver,17680101401

Very impressed with this torch which replaces a very much older, now-defunct, product. The light is bright, steady and clear, charging is easy and to date the battery is holding charge extremely well. Will be buying a second one for another vehicle's glove compartment! Not the cheapest such product on the market but the saying 'you get what you pay for' is always worth bearing in mind. First rate product and well worth the asking price.

This is an amazing dynamo torch and much better than the last one I bought, about 4 years ago. It claims that one minute of winding produces an hour's light (from memory), and it does seem to need remarkably little winding to get a lot of light. The winding handle is robust and the winding action smooth and provides some resistance without being heavy (too light can be a problem). The torch retains charge between uses - can't say how long yet because I'm using the torch quite frequently (we live in a lane without street lights and the torch is useful to look inside cupboards and behind the computer). The beam is reasonably white, with only a hint of blue, and has a good range. The only issue is the stiffness of the on/off button. It seemed very stiff to begin with and either it's getting easier or my thumbs are getting stronger. My wife has to use an effort to turn it on and off but she's finding it easier too.

Well made, handy for emergency use in car or home.

No batteries just windup and use when required. Great buy cheap to run.

Great price and a great item to have in the car

After 50 winds product remained light for 4 minutes. Useless for overnight use

Winds up easily and gives a bright light for a suprisingly decent amount of time.

It gives a very good light, compared to one I have had for a few years, but I find the switch hard to use perhaps I should have sent it back but I feel sure it will gradually get better.

Torcia molto pratica e luminosa con la possibilità di cambiare la pila a bottone per immagazzinare la carica da manovella.

Does not hold charge which renders it useless

Malzeme Kalitesi çok kötü vartayla alakasız içindeki pil varta değil ve yetersiz varta bu pili üretmiyor fener işini yapıyor muadili ürünler daha kötü olduğu için bu dinamolu fener içlerinde iyi konumda tek artısı bu

Good solid product

Cette lampe a reçu une petite évolution mais qui était vraiment nécessaire. Le bouton d’allumage est maintenant plus facile à actionner. Son enveloppe est en caoutchouc souple au lieu du plastique assez rigide de l’ancienne version. A part ça, c’est toujours la même puissance d’éclairage vraiment très élevée. Le prix est justifié car en plus elle est robuste et très bien conçue. La batterie est amovible s’il faut la changer. Franchement, Cette lampe est vraiment fantastique. J’appréciais déjà l’ancien modèle, malgré son bouton difficile mais maintenant c’est parfait. Bref que du bon. J’ai déjà eu d’autres marques et il n’y a pas photo au niveau puissance d’éclairage … Cette nouvelle version porte la référence model : 17680, inscrite sur le boitier en soulevant la manivelle.
