COMMENTS: This flashlight eliminates the need for batteries (which can create problems if not disposed of properly) or electricity, so it saves valuable resources, eliminates waste, and will last for years if properly taken care of.

The only downside of these flashlights is that they are made in China, as are so many consumer products these days. We haven't been able to find a comaparable flashlight that is actually made in the USA yet, but are looking. Until then, this is a great way to eliminate the waste of batteries (most of which are made overseas, too!).
