I've got several LED lights. My 2AA minimag conversion is by
www.opalec.com and cost me about $28. Worth every penny, in not
blowing out bulbs. It is limited, it isn't as bright, and no where
near as focussed. But it gets me in and out of cellars, and some odd
places.

Fire up Ebay, and see what you can find. I got one that takes three
AA batteries, and has six LED, of which four work. Ah, well. Not
worth sending it back. Too long for my pocket, so I crammed it into
my Tul Bukt, where it gets used once in awhile. You can get
something for under twenty bucks, with shipping and all.

Now, if you want a "No battery" model, that doesn't exist. They all
have a battery of some form, even if it's a nicad with a solar
charger or crank charger. Yes, saw solar and or crank units on Ebay,
too.


Never say something doesn't exist unless you're talking about
temporal time sifters.
No battery models example:

ED Like it says, no battery, no nicads, just a moving magnet through
a coil of wire and some circuitry to charge a capacitor to power the
LED. Got one in all the cars so I don't have to worry about batteries
leaking or not having enough charge.


And of course, sharper image would never sell something that doesn't
work worth a damn just because it's technology driven.. (hint hint
ionic breeze hint hint).

Didn't buy them at sharper image, just happened to be the first page
that came up on the search engine. So take your rant elsewhere.
Storming said such things didn't exist, I merely took umbrage with his
statement.

I'd go crazy if I had to shake a flashlight every 20-30 seconds.
Frankly I'd rather do 15 minutes at work, get this miracle substance
called money, and buy batteries and be able to use a flashlight for 6
hours without having to shake the damn thing every 20-30 seconds.

When I need it, I shake it a bit and use it. If I need a light for six
hours, I'll use the "shaker" to find the generator controls, or the
lanterns. Guess I got tired of replacing whole flashlights corroded
with leaking batteries - car interiors are not conducive to long term
battery storage. YM(OS)MV - Your Mileage (or sanity) May Vary.

Get a Surefire flashlight that runs on 3v lithium cells;they will last for
up to 10 years unused.They are high brightness,too.

CSI and other police shows use them,they make a number of different
models.
