On Christmas 2012 my brother gave me a Torch Crank Light, engineered by GoalZero of Utah. I've used it at night virtually 95% of the time since.
It has 18 bright, white LEDs.
It can be charged in several ways: via 1)sunlight, 2)12v d.c., 3)110v a.c., or 4)hand crank.
From left to right: the box with a $30 price tag on it, the torch solar crank light, on top, the a.c. adapter, and the d.c. charger curled around a small operations booklet.
