 Cool batteryless feature, but weak light output July 10, 2008
I. Chen
I bought this flashlight for my husband. While he loves the wind up feature and never having to replace it's battery, I noticed that the light output is not strong. While at first, it is bright, the flashlight quickly dims and the light output is very weak. Unless you continuously wind it up (which is bad for the flashlight), there is no strong light.
I noticed this when we were renovating our bathroom. When you're looking in dark places (in between walls) at pipes, this flashlight was sort of useless because even with it on, one couldn't really see details like screws and such.
While this might be a great flashlight if you're just walking outside and you don't mind a dimmer light source, this flashlight dims in comparison to the normal standard flashlight in light output.
I am a little bit disappointed by this fact since I bought two of them. I rate this product 3 stars. Nice idea and design, but needs to improve in the light output category.
 A best buy in wind-up flashlights! June 26, 2008

Did a bit of research on wind-up flashlights before this Crank Light from Garrity was ordered, and have no regrets about this choice. Was simply looking for a reasonably priced crank or wind-up emergency flashlight without any frills, but one that was built well and might last a few years.
Came very close to buying the Dynamo Illuminator Wind-up LED Flashlight, but checking with "friends in the business" found that it didn't seem to have the battery life of the Garrity. That was backed up by some of the reviews found here.
The product features from Garrity say "easy-to-wind crank-light provides up to 30 minutes of light with one minute of cranking." Further down the product description says: "With just one minute of cranking, this flashlight will provide up to one hour of bright light with its three super bright LED bulbs." My personal experience has been that 60 seconds of cranking (60 complete cycles), this Crank Light provides decent illumination for over an hour... and longer than that if you use it in the single bulb mode.
The only thing to watch out for, as has been noted by another reviewer, is to not crank the light with it turned on in the single bulb mode, as too much current could flow through the LED and burn it out.
Others you might want to consider are the more costly Duracell Crank Light 3 in 1, 3 LED Flashlight, Radio, Charger with its extra features, or the Wind 'N Go Flashlight.
Garrity Power Lite is a must for campers. June 11, 2008

No more dead batteries. The crank for power is better than the shake for power types of flashlights. Strong, long lasting light and you'll never need to buy batteries again. The best part when you need it (when its dark) you won't be searching for good batteries. Just give it a few cranks and you're in business. I highly recommend this product.

Another must have... Works great although sometimes I get confused which way to wind the thing. Very high quality and very satisified.
 Bright Idea, Not So Bright Light May 7, 2008

I bought this because I was tired of replacing batteries in my flashlight. It works as advertised and I'm glad I have it, however, the light is not as strong as a traditional battery powered light (at least when the batteries are new). It's a good compromise, though. The LED lights cast a nice wide and even light. It is not a strong light, but more like a bright glow. It's works fine for me to see my way to my office out back. But what I noticed is you cannot see specific things that well. For example, if I want to see if the lock on my door handle is in the locked position, shining this light on it does not reveal such a small detail. It brightens up the whole area but you can't focus it on a small area. I wish I could focus all 3 LEDs to one spot, but you can't. I knew in advance this light wasn't going to be super bright by reading the packaging. It plays down the brightness of the light and sells the battery-less feature. I am satisfied with my purchase, but be aware of it's limitations.
