Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
How Does the solar flashlight work?
The solar flashlight works
just like any other flashlight with some added benefits. When you receive the flashlight it will be ready to use; simply click the on/off button one time to use solar power (a yellow indicator light will illuminate next to the button), click a second time to operate on battery backup power (a green indicator light will illuminate next to the button).
Charging is as simple as placing the flashlight in direct sunlight,
this can be easily done by placing it on your window sill or anywhere the
flashlight will have exposure to the sun. The red indicator light next to the button is for charge mode. The flashlight should be set to this position when charging.
The solar flashlight's advanced solar panel absorbs energy from the sun (did we mention this was free) and converts it to light that is always ready for you to use.
Why should I buy a solar powered flashlight
and not a 'shake' or 'battery powered' flashlight?
The solar flashlight
pays for itself and is the easiest of all flashlights to use. No shaking
ever and no batteries ever (think of all the money you will save on batteries).
Not to mention if you ever need a flashlight in an emergency you have one
on hand. If batteries aren't available do not dismay, the solar powered
flashlight will hold its charge for over 45 days. This means you could charge
it one day for 8 hours and use it months later with no worries. Additionally,
you don't have to shake this flashlight every 5 minutes to have light, you
can use this flashlight for hours without shaking or batteries and the next
day just let it sit in the sun and you are good for another 7 hours.This
is the last flashlight you will ever need.
Why get a solar powered flashlight
since you don't need it when the sun is shining?
Believe
it or not, we get this one a lot. Similar to the reason why you don't have
to be attached to the gasoline pump to drive a gas powered car, the sun
doesn't need to be shining when you use a solar powered flashlight. The
flashlight stores energy from the sun in a rechargeable Nicad battery that
powers the LEDs, even in the dark.
