Freeplay Indigo LED Wind Up Lantern

Loz — Sat, 05 Feb 2011 13:00:53 +0000

The Indigo LED Lantern is a rugged and sturdy portable light source. Excellent in emergencies and black outs as it needs no batteries, just a few quick winds to get it up and running. Also a very useful lantern to take camping, or to cabins and houses off the grid.

A handy dimmer switch allows you to change the brightness of the light, so it’s only up to you how much winding you do. For example, a quick 30 second wind will generate 3 hours of light on the lowest setting.

An integrated directional LED light allows you to use it as a flashlight or reading light in addition to a lantern. One 60 second wind gives you 1 hour worth of brilliant bright white light.

Features include:

Energy efficient LED cluster and directional single LED light
70 hours of light when fully charged
Dimmer switch to adjust lighting
Rubber bottom for placement on uneven surfaces
To achieve maximum battery efficiency, Freeplay recommend an initial conditioning charge.
This can be achieved via 40 minutes of hand cranking, or a 16 hour AC charge via the mini USB port.

Please Note: The Indigo Lantern can be charged via a mini USB lead from your computer, or with any other mini-USB universal charger. Freeplay does not include a charging adaptor with the majority of its products in order to minimise the environmental impact of producing unneccessary charging devices when many people already own a suitable adaptor.
