LED technology is a bit of a personal favourite for me as I have worked with them in our lab during the years of graduation and they are the brightest little attractive things in an otherwise dull and boring electronics lab. But the technology is really catching on in modern lighting devices and that is a wonderful little thing as it helps us save plenty of power and of course on our bills. On average, LED lighting devices consume 70%-80% less energy than the traditional lighting devices and that is a huge amount of energy saved!
The Tri-Solar LED Flashlight is a device that should handle most minor lighting needs for you. The unit can operate with one LED on, two LEDs or all three LEDs flashing when the need arises. Because a single solar panel can only catch so much sunlight, this one has three solar panels that fold out and generate juice for the bulbs. This means that all your emergency lighting needs would be done with this and considering the fact that you need not really plug it up for charge, it would be great for outdoor use.
Solar gadgets are getting quite a bit popular among those who go out on those outdoor adventures and understandably so. Unless you are racing to the South Pole are trying to visit Santa at North Pole, you can bet pretty safely that this will come in handy (That and if you happen to live in England. It just keeps pouring down there almost always). At $ 32 this is a pretty good buy and if you consider that it can blind a person for a few seconds when suddenly flashed at them, it really becomes all the more valuable!
