Action Steps
The best contacts and resources to help you get it done

Buy battery free flashlights based on Faraday's principle of induction

A batteryless flashlight obtains power by shaking it. This creates energy that transfers from a capacitor that stores the energy to the L.E.D. that beams out the light. No batteries also means they are environmentally friendly and great for emergencies.

I recommend: Buy Eternity Flashlights directly from the manufacturer at EternityFlashlights.com. These batteryless flashlights provide 2 to 5 minutes of light whenever you shake the flashlight for 30 seconds. See the LED 8 inch shaking rechargeable at CompuPartsforLess.com.

Find a rechargeable flashlight for your business

Technology improved the rechargeable flashlight with better batteries providing enhanced output, quick chargers, better lenses and durability. Rechargeables include wind-ups, dynamo and solar battery-free flashlights.

I recommend: Select rechargeable flashlights from several pages of brand names with many sizes at CoolFlashLights.com. Choose a battery-free flashlight from the list of emergency, wind-up, dynamo and solar powered models at Sports Imports LLC. Get heavy-duty rechargeable flashlights with long lasting capacity and NiMH cells at The LED Light, Inc.

Purchase LED flashlights

An LED produces more light per watt with better focusing power than regular bulb flashlights. They also provide longer life than regular flashlights.

Tips & Tactics

Helpful advice for making the most of this Guide

• •  The real batteryless flashlights based on Faradays electromagnetic induction principle never have batteries; however, some flashlights tagged batteryless do have batteries that eventually expire. Genuine batteryless flashlights lose power and need shaking to power up the capacitor. Fakes only lose power when the battery goes dead.
