Today We Review the Freeplay ML1 LED Lantern.
Consumer Electronics Show and provides clean, dependable light. The manufacturer is Freeplay Energy and this was produced in China back in 2008. Although I do not put much faith in products from China, I have been very pleased with the this little lanterin. The MSRP for this lantern is $55 USD but I am sure you can find it at a lower price online. It weighs in at 10.2 oz and is only 6.5 in tall making it an ideal camping lantern.
It comes with removable and rechargeable 3.6V Ni-MH batteries which supplies the power for 4 Ultra bright LED lights. It also comes with a single 5mm LED work light. The 4 LED array at maximum setting should last you about 8 hours on a full charge while the single LED light should last you approximately 40 hours.
Overall impression: I like the availability of having both a wide area and a focus beam of light. I can take it on long backpacking trips with no need of batteries. As with all our gear it needs to serve dual purposes and this lantern makes a great item to keep in the house for those times when the electricity goes out. It does take a fair amount of energy to crank and this may put off some folks. But we figure it a great way to get those arms in shape!
