Solar Shed Light
It is NOT something to rely on for long-term lighting. It's a fairly harsh light and it will fade. When we tested it, we had strong light for about half an hour and then it faded quickly. However, if we turned it off for a few hours - even without recharging with sunlight - the light became bright again. So use these lights for their intended purpose - five, ten, fifteen minutes of light when absolutely necessary.
This, however - Candle-powered LED Lantern - from Lee Valley Tools is very high on my wishlist. (That is not an affiliate link.) Have you ever checked out Lee Valley Tools? They have some really amazing stuff.

I have a pair of these dynamo lights (https://www.leevalley.com/en/wood/page.aspx?p=66238&cat=1,43456) from lee valley and they work really well. I hadn't charged them up in a while but when we had our storm back in august I snagged one and it was powerful enough to navigate the basement and do a check of all the rooms without being in the dark.
ReplyDeleteI want to share a lessen I learned. We have a basement room that I built shelves into for some of our stores it is small (8'x8') and has shelves on two sides to the 9' ceiling. The door wall has shelves up each side of the door and above the door. the last side has cabinets a small work bench with a lockable cabinet beside it and then cabinets above to the ceiling. I learned that maybe my original stocking plan of putting food on the shelf walls and flammables (candles, lantern fuel etc) in the cabinet above the counter was less smart than I thought as once the lights went out I had to get out the flashlights to set up the ladder to climb up and get the candles down.
Darn it! You made me look at Lee Valley and now I see so many things I want to buy J
