Cool... No batteries. Sorta like those magnetic ones where you have to shake to charge capacitor.
Except those give 30minutes of light for 2 minutes of shaking. This is definately better. It looks rugged too.

Looks cool to me. Could you elaborate on your experience with it? I am quite curious.

I was looking at this over on the C. Crane site, where they have a somewhat different photo.

It's interesting, but it's seems very likely from the description that they're using a rechargeable battery internally. Since it's evidently not replaceable, and at that price it's not Lithium, it becomes a question of whether it's a NiCad or NiMH. If it's NiCad, you probably only get 200 or 250 cycles max before it starts to die, and possibly a whole lot less.

I can't say I care for either- too many devices have failed on me.
