In addition to the Surefire LED on my belt and the X300 on my handgun, I have added Energizer Crank/Solar powered LED Lights to my Duty bag, Bug-Out Bags and Backpacks. Referred to as the “Hybrid Power” or “Carabiner LED Crank Light” or similar, the light is distributed by Energizer. It is a 3 LED, low-powered (13 Lumen) Crank and/or Solar power generated light, that could serve well in the emergency back-up / “Hey Buddy/Dad do you have a light that I can use?” role. It is light weight, small (5 1/4") and has a built in carabiner clip. I need to say that I have Not “tested” these lights as such. However, for what I have been using them for, they have been a welcome addition to my equipment. Yes, they are made in China. They retail for $20 - $25. The packages indicate that 5 hours of solar charge time will provide 2 hours of run time, and 1 minute of cranking will provide 4 minutes of run time. This seems to have been the case for the 5 lights that I have.
Nice find. Not everything needs to be a $300 surefire to work.
Sounds good, will keep an eye out when I’m abouts. Thanks for the info.
I found them at a Target store. I think Amazon may have them.
