Shake & charge torches - are they any good

Just be careful of what your mates will think if you shake it in your swag!

how did you get your name?

sorry, just had to ask :)

Ouch! deserved that!

ROFLMAO

You can buy any $ value you like from Electus but if the order is under $100 they charge you $10p&h. Over $100 is free p&h. I just ask a few mates if they want anything if I want something under $100. Electus has the same price/quantity breaks as Jaycar but are cheaper again.

Unless of course you live near the warehouse as then you can just pick it up yourself. Can't remember where the warehouse is but it is down South somewhere.

You can get a trade card for Jaycar too but I think Electus is still cheaper.

sweet, thanks for clearing that up, ill have to set up an account with my abn.

Russell, tell me more please. I haven't heard of these before. Basically I thought the shake'n charge torch might be suitable for our 4 year old who takes a small, single AA battery torch to bed with him each night when camping. Trouble is he often falls asleep with it on so we have to change and recharge the battery every day which becomes a bit tiresome. But based on comments made here I don't think the shake'n charge is the way to go. Where do we get a dynamo torch and how much?

I got mine from JAYCAR, but I/ve seen them at various camping shops etc. $29

Jimbo, we already have a rechargable spottie (yes, geat light) but don't think I want our nearly 4 yr old shining one of these around the camper from his bed ;-). Thought the shake'n charge type torch might replace his little single AA torch which he takes to bed with him when camping. Because he tends to fall asleep with it on we are having to recharge the battery daily which becomes a bit tedious.

Melissa,

In that case it sounds like a great idea for the nipper.

Cheers,

Jim.

Hi Brad,

One of those single led torches from Jaycar certainly sounds like a good option. Matty's happy with what the little torch he's got know because its a good size for his little hands and we're happy because he can shine it around the camper and spotlight the roof without disturbing the baby. Really it's just we parents who are seeking some relief from the daily hassle of having to recharge it (just something else among the multitude of things we have to remember to do). So I think the little led torch you mentioned is the way to go. Thanks heaps.
