Rayovac Solar LED

[Swiss Man]

Just picked up one of these before I went to the movies (is there a better place to try out a new flashlight?)

From where I was setting some 50+ feet in front of me was the exit so when they asked you to locate your nearest exit I fealt
obiligated to shine my new LED on it.

Now mind you it didn't cast a brillant white light on the exit but it actually did reach the area (which really surprised me).

Since I own two Citizen ECO drive then I figured I can try out the solar powered lights also.

This one gets two

My only experience with solar lights were too cheap to last.  But this does look better than my cheapies.

Question:  How long does it take to recharge the batteries while it's in your pocket?   

[Swiss Man]

I don't know I use my INOVA 2AAA LED to recharge it, 

I just got it a couple hours ago but it recharges with any type of light. 
So I figure it lays out on my dresser for a couple hours then rides in my pocket for the rest.

I kept the receipt (I think) so if it doesn't work out it can always be a "give away" later

LOL, that was the first thing that popped into my head as well.   However I guess if you take your keys out your pocket when you're in the house then it'll get a charge then.

I'm interested to know how you get on with it Swiss Man.

Sounds like a nice light. How long to fully charge it in sunlight? Whats your guess on lumen output?

[Swiss Man]

Well been carrying this for two days and have to say I am still impressed.

As far as lumen and recharge time I have no clue.  I have been hanging it on my belt holder so it is always getting light.

It works well in a dark theater without blinding people, it won't get any awards for power and brightness but it works for what it is.

Not much of a review just buy one and try it out.

I can't locate them on the net. Anyone know of a site that carries them? What is the approximate cost? Thanks!
