Kaito Emergency Radio with LED Flashlight, KA011 Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This radio is about what I expected and wanted. It is by no means a fancy unit. The case seems relatively cheap and fragile. However, it does what I want and I am satisfied. The white LED is not, of course, as bright as a 'real' flashlight, but it works for me. The tuning is analog and so-so, but again works OK. I don't understand the power selection switch: Batt, Dyn, Solar. Seems like the radio should be smart enough to handle the power source automatically. Maybe a switch to disable the batts from being used unless you really want to would be logical. Overall, I like it.

Wagan EL2558 Solar eCharger Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I bought this solar charger last weekend. It did not take too much time to setup, however it did take quite long (about 4 hours) to get fully charged. Then, I used this charger to charge my cell phone without any difficulty. This made me feel good because it was the first time that I used green energy directly. Over all, it is well designed and easy to use. The case can be more slim and some switches can be combined, a little bit confusing though.

Solio Rocsta Hybrid Solar Charger (new) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I had an H1000 by the same company in the past and loved it until I lost it
during a camping trip.The only problem was that the H1000 did not have an
adapter for my iPhone.I tried purchasing another H1000, but realized that
it had been replaced by this new Rocsta.The funky yellow color is awesome
(it will hopefully help me from loosing this one, lol), it seems to charge a
bit more quickly then before (full day of sun charges it completely), and it
came with a tip for my iPhone 4 right in the box!Another cool thing is
that it also came with a light adapter tip.It's a cool little flashlight
that comes in handy while poking around in the tent and such.All in all,
I'm very happy with this solar charger.

HYBRID SOLAR POWERED FLASHLIGHT WITH EMERGENCY BATTERY BACKUP BLACK (*2-pack*) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I bought a pack of these a couple of months ago, and they really work. Like the review ahead of me, they do what they say. Main good points: Very solid build, does not require direct sunlight to charge, easily changed backup coin cells, runs a long time on a full charge, nice usable amount of light. Cons: the on-off switch isn't labled, so if you don't use it regularly it is not clear if you are running off the solar cell or running down your backup coin cells. Takes a long time to fully charge the solar cell if the battery is completely run down (2 days direct sunlight, 1 week if set in a window that gets daylight but no direct sun). These are really useful lights.
UPDATE 10/21/10. I've now had them about 1 1/2 years and still going strong. Well made.
