Got one of these for Christmas.

It was always one of things I saw on TV and looked interesting but figured they probably didnt work.

Takes a bit of shaking to get them working the first time but they work. and pretty damn well too!

Faraday Light

Had a couple at work months ago. All in all, I was unimpressed. They're handy in an emergency, but they're slightly better than a Bic lighter, IMHO.

But Sandy, they work at all times....to keep your family safe. You can even use it when you walk your dog!

In all honesty, I thought they might be handy to have around in a pinch, but the commercials make them seem as if they're as good as a Mag Light. Not even close.

And you can drive your SUV over the thing. How freaking cool is that?????

I was just baggin on the comercial and the idea that people need to be told how many ways they could use a flashlight.

Why not just say that it can be used to produce light?

Yes I see your point. But it does produce light and it can be seen from over a mile away:D

Not only that, it can be used to exercise your right hand. You know... for that quality time spent with one's self.

What kind of SUV are you talking about a Kia?

The thing busted when my bud drove his Ford F-350 over it:lol

well I don't really consider an F350 an SUV.

Somewhere in that goofly little thing is a battery. And it'll eventually wear out.

Smoke 'n Mirrors.

I had a hand-dynamo flash-light since I was a kid. You had to squeeze it to get light. What's new in "Faraday's light"? LED instead of light-bulb?
