Lately I've been seeing ads on TV for the "forever" flashlight. It does not use batteries or bulbs. Instead it uses an electrical induction principle to produce juice that runs the LEDs. You shake the thing for 30 secs and you get 5 minutes of light.
Sounds like a hiker's dream, yes? No batteries to run low, especially in cold temps. No bulbs to burn out. Less weight. But I wonder if anyone's had experience with these things before I go off and waste my money.
I have had so many horror experiences with flashlights. I'm still looking for the miracle one. Is this it?
Thanks.
