I picked up a couple on FreeCycle, but the light is not particularly bright. However, Dad got me a Red Cross solar/crank/battery one with an LED light, a red flashing emergency light, cell phone charger, radio and NOAA weather. I charged it via the solar, and have been playing with it like a little kid. The FreeCycle ones are okay for the grandkids when we go camping. Make them WORK for their illumination, I say !!!
