Torch, Nightstar, Motion Powered

NSOrig
You can never run out of batteries with this torch, because it doesn't use any!

The Nightstar works on a direct application of Faraday's Law: "Any change in the magnetic environment of a coil of wire will cause a voltage to be induced in the coil". The coil voltage charges a 1.5 Farad "super-capacitor" and the capacitor powers an LED to produce the light.

More simply, shake the torch for thirty seconds for up to 20 minutes of light.

Longer description

There are lots of features that make this an excellent emergency torch:

  • Waterproof to 674m, floats business-end up
  • Operational-use temperature range -40 C to 55C
  • Tough Light-Emitting-Diode rated for 50,000 hours use (no filament)
  • No batteries, the capacitor is rechargeable several hundred thousand times
  • When suspended horizontally, the light aligns north/south with the head pointing north
  • Non-clogging luminescent (Strontium Aluminate) magnetic reed switch (no hole in the case)
  • High impact polycarbonate case that is resistant to corrosion from salt water, mild acids, cleaning agents, oil and diesel fuel

NB: The charging magnet is made of anisotropic sintered ceramic containing neodymium, iron and boron. There are two other neodymium magnets inside the torch, one at either end of the case to provide a magnetic cushion for the charging magnet. Because these magnets produce such strong magnetic fields, you need to be careful around credit cards and magnetic computer media. Please read the warning information included in the box.

Keep in mind that this high tech shake torch runs with one LED and is designed to extract as long a run-time as possible out of a minimum amount of shaking. It provides enough light for safety and navigation when you really need it.
