Freeplay Light Center

Be prepared for the next big blackout with the Freeplay Light Center—it's always ready for the unexpected. Mount the unit in a central location in your home, plug the AC adapter in, and you have three flashlights that are always charged and ready for use. Each Freeplay Sherpa X-Ray LED flashlight is equipped with a green light that illuminates while properly positioned for charging. In a power failure, a bright red LED light is activated on the light center, pin-pointing the location of the unit. Magnetically latched door releases simply by pulling on the handle, giving you access to the three lights that are ready for immediate use. In the event of an extended outage, use the flashlight cranks to recharge the batteries; 30 seconds of winding provides 20 minutes of light. Wind-up mechanism uses a highly efficient alternator and thoughtful design to maximize the conversion of human-powered energy. Crank the winder in either direction; the harder you crank, the more energy you create—indicator light shows optimum winding speed. Winder handle is made from reinforced nylon to provide a comfortable grip and ease of use. 40 minutes of cranking will fully charge the battery. When the power comes back on, return the flashlights to the charging station and you'll be prepared for the next time the grid goes down. Two brightness settings, energy saving and ultra bright, offer a choice between efficiency and brightness. Fully charged, the lights will shine for 20 hours on the energy-saving setting and 3.5 hours on ultra bright. Seven 5mm LEDs provide consistent white light. These lights are built to last—the internal gear train transmission has been tested to more than 500,000 cycles and the LEDs to 100,000 hours!
