A torch you can wind up when the battery is flat
£12.99 + £6.55 delivery
Delivery is charged per product because each item ships directly from its supplier, so items can arrive separately. Estimated delivery 7-15 working days. Tracked.
A hand-held LED torch with a fold-out crank handle and a small 600mAh rechargeable battery, so you can charge it by winding if you have no mains or power bank. It also charges by USB-C and has an LCD display showing the remaining battery.
Cranking is slow and gives only a short burst of light for a minute or two of effort, so think of it as a safety net rather than the main torch. It is useful in a drawer you will not check often.

How to use it
Wind the fold-out crank to charge the small battery (or charge it by USB-C), then switch on the LED torch.
- Fold out the crank handle and hold the torch firmly in one hand.
- Turn the handle at a steady pace for a minute or two, then check the LCD display for battery level.
- Keep cranking until the display shows a useful charge, or charge from USB-C with a cable and power source.
- Press the switch to turn the LED on.
- Switch it off when finished and fold the crank away.
Tips
- Cranking gives only a short burst of light, so charge it by USB-C when you can.
- Check the display now and then and top it up, as it is meant to sit unchecked in a drawer.
Safety and limits
- Do not crank hard or force the handle against resistance, as it may break.
- Use a suitable USB-C cable, and keep it away from heat and water.
- Stop using it if the battery swells or the case is damaged.
