I just got these....pretty neat...Made in China though - but I do not see any other manufacturers in the short time I looked. They seem pretty solid though and works as advertised. the LED is not that bright - but nice non-the-less.

"Heavy Hands" with a battery boost?

Well, at least it has other uses. Like mixing drinks, or ...

yeah - it is goofy - not so bright - but it is only 12 bucks.

I bought one like that and the light worked pretty good. I noticed the batteries on the inside and wondered if the LED just ran on those batteries and the shaking thing was a hoax. So I turned it on and left it on for a week. It finally went completely dead. I shook it for about a minute and IT CAME ON! ...for about 15 seconds.

Never could get it to last more than a minute no mattter how much i shook it. Threw it away.

the cheap versions use a watch battery hidden inside.

the good ones use capacitors which eventually wear out anyway

Re: Faraday Flashlights -$12
 

Well, no watch battery inside this thing - totally see through.
