24 Super Bright LED's Windup Lantern

We bought this lantern for a camping trip and paid extra to have it rushed to us. It works fine, but I found that it was not as bright as I had hoped. In a fairly small space, it was not bright enough to enable us to read well. It does re-charge well when hooked up to the car cigarette lighter. There was virtually no instructions with it so we don't actually know if the green light means it charging or is fully charged. It would have been nice if it had a few instructions with it. On the whole, it's a pretty good product. We haven't used the windup feature yet, but other reviewers gave it high marks for that. It seems durable and the size and design are good. It has a handy little hook at the top that makes it possible to hang it anywhere.

I bought this because our electicity goes out regularly, does'nt matter what time of year. It seems like people who live in the hurricane regions,should have one. It's great because you can charge it up in a outlet and use it til the battery goes dead,then just crank it up and your all set again! Maybe FEMA should hand these out with the food and water to people in a disaster area. Just a thought!
