Japanese manufacturer Landport has created an ingenious variation on the wind-up flashlight with the BunBun - a compact torch that can be charged simply by swinging it about in front of you.

There are much better 1W (or 3W) LEDs, my experience with such IR LED flashlight is that it’s much stronger than cheap surveilance LED illuminators with 20-30 and more 5mm LEDs.

Measuring just 30 mm (1.18 in) end to end, the micro flashlight pumps out 100 lumens of brightness with a twist on the base. The highlights here though are the compact size and the durability ...
