Looking at the reviews I can see that people's experiences have mirrored my own with these torches. We first bought one many years ago and it has worked perfectly. Recently we bought another one at a higher price and the light wouldn't stay on unless you held the button down. This was exchanged for another type of torch. However, we have just bought three more of these torches- one for each car and one in the house and they all work as they should. You have a choice of one light (the middle one) or all three. The light is very bright. The crank is very sturdy and easy to use. Folds away neatly. I really would suggest that if you get a duff one- as clearly they do sometimes- we had one,

this has no protection circuit, i bought this product in qd many years ago! i opened it up and we have a dc motor capable of producing about 4-8v easily, a bridge rectifier chip, a push button switch which has two modes one led or three, fun littlew thing to see how it works, oh and 3 little nimh cells like little watch batteries i think! unlikely to cause any damage, and im sure any mishaps would be contained within the shell... i am in the process of making it a usb charger, i will utilize almost all of this product so overall i am very happy with the product, it also feels fairly solid in the hands which is always nice!

This wind up torch offers exceptional value for its price. It's portable as it fits in a pocket. One minute of winding can give up to 30 minutes of power which is phenomenal. It provides sufficient lighting in dark places and the light settings can be adjusted between 1 LED and 3 LED in order to conserve power for various lit surroundings. The torch also comes with the option to register online for a 3 year warranty. Unlike most other electrical products, it's pleasing to note that this product doesn't require batteries and chargers. It proves that the simple things in life are often the best!

This was surprisingly bright out of the packaging (which was a simple cardboard box and no clamshell, so the easy opening was definitely a bonus!) and provides more than adequate lighting for a variety of situations. I've already used it during several power cuts, and it has been most useful. The crank on the back seems sturdy enough, and does not feel flimsy. The finish on the overall product was somewhat rough, however, which can be expected with the price this is offered on. Good, basic wind up torch.

this is a no nonsense wind up torch that works very well. Doesn't take too long to wind up and works well in both LED modes. It has a nice weight and the chunky shape fits my arthritic hand very well. I can't comment upon longevity but so far I consider this to be an excellent purchase. Not keen on the chrome effect trim but others may like it and, in reality it is pretty inoffensive. The rubbery plastic feel gives an impression of quality and is very hand friendly.

This hand operated dynamo LED torch is great. Cranking the handle turns an internal dynamo which then quickly charges a Lithium CR2032 coin battery. I have had mine for about 5 years and have had NO problems at all. Obviously a CR2032 battery does not store much energy so long term use will require the user to turn the handle a few times to recharge it when the light starts to dull. However, the dynamo is very easy to turn and the battery is quickly recharged.

I looked at several types of windup torch and decided on this version. It's easy to operate and has two settings whereby all 3 LED lights come on or just 1. After just a bout half a minute of winding it up the single led light is bright but when switched to all 3 LED lights it's surprisingly very bright. It's easy to hold and time will tell how long it will last. It was cheaper than similar products I consider this to be a good buy.

This is a very handy thing to have on my travels to far away countries where electricity often goes off...sick of my battery running out on my headtorch because it switched on accidentally in my bag..never again..easy to wind up..small..strong beam..even more pleasing to the eye than a torch strapped to my head....but maybe best thing is never having to buy batteries again..yes definitely a good buy

Brought to replace an earlier version, on this one the light is not as bright as the pervious version, which was larger and had more LEDs. However, it is still and good reliable torch. The wind up mechanism is stronger than that of other makes, I like the way it fits your hand. It is a little large for your pocket or hand bag. Its a good general torch which I felt was reasonable priced torch.

This is an excellent torch that gives a good light for minimal turns of the handle. Its used infrequently as its by the meter in case the electric goes off and in the car for the odd time you need a torch. I got fed up with a normal torch that always had flat batteries when you needed it to work. Out of all the torchs of this type I have found the ones from Silverline to be the best

My mum recently had a power failure and her torch didn't work so I bought her one of these torches to use in An emergency.it is always ready to use after a few wind ups.i had to show her how to use it(she's s 93) and she managed very well.i bought myself one ages ago to put in an emergency bag so I bought another just to have at hand around the house,just in case.

Good in the case of a power cut when you dont have batteries. Ive got 3 of these at various points in the house just ready for when they need to be used. If you leave batteries in other types of torches for a long time without using them, eventually the batteries might corrode and stop the circuit from working, with these Im not worried about that happening.

These wind up torches are amazing to have around the house when the lights trip or in the car for emergencies. I already had one of another make - but having recently bought other Silverline products - which I was pleased with, I thought I'd try one of their torches and I wasn't disappointed - they work well.

Cost me about £6 just to use as a spare light.But it's actually very good and quite bright, don't get me wrong it's not a lighthouse but it's enough light to see what your doing.well worth the price and after just 30sec winding up it's lasted over 15mins so far without dimming.

This is an excellent item replaces one that I have for years that eventually wore out. First rate to keep in the car as it will always work - you don't have to worry about the battery being too old or flat. I bought four for ourselves and have ordered four more for presents.
