Customer Reviews of iTouchless DLX Forever Last Flashlight, No Battery Needed
Customer Review: Does Pretty Much What It Claims
Summary: 4 Stars
I bought two of these and they were already charged when they came out of the box. I have had them a couple of weeks and so far neither one of them has run down completely and I have not shaken either of them for over 30 to 45 seconds total. One of them I let burn for about 45 minutes before turning it off and the light did not diminish in that time. They appear to be superior in this respect and compared to earlier models these do hold a nice long charge with minimal shaking.
The reason for the four stars and not five stars is that the beam of light is a tad disappointing. I realize that these led lights do not produce the same amount of light as a battery flashlight and a standard bulb, but some improvement is necessary in the brightness of these flashlights if they are to totally replace battery flashlights, as I suspect they will one day.
Still I am pleased with these two and I may even pick up a couple more of them as I am terrible about keeping batteries charged and the beam of light on these is far better than I get from a flashlight with dead batteries. I plan to keep one in each vehicle, one in the nightstand, and another one just for general use around the house.
Hopefully with in the next year or so, they will get a light as reliable and as easy to charge as this one that puts out a serious beam of light comparable to a good standard battery flashlight for about this price. Then I will give it a full 5 star rating. Until then this is a pretty handy little light. I would recommend one of these for emergency use, especially if you do not keep a good store of batteries for your flashlights.
Customer Review: I'm not much on gadgets....
Summary: 5 Stars
They, too frequently, promise more than they are capable of delivering. However, every once in a blue moon, a product comes along that meets a common need in an uncommon way at an uncommonly low price. Such is the case here.
The iTouchless Forever puts out a strong enough beam of bright white light to read with, seems sturdy, yet is light weight. At $12.99, it is certainly not going to break the bank.
One cautionary: Since the 'innards' are protected by a clear plastic case, there is no block to the electro-magnetic field generated by the iTouchless Forever. The instructions recommend keeping the light at least a foot away from other sensitive items, computer memory storage, pacemakers and the like. To that, I would add digital camera memories. As attractive and interesting as the 'innards' are, I would have preferred they be shielded.
Customer Review: Great product, and the future of flashlights
Summary: 5 Stars
Ample brightness, very lightweight, and really interesting (yet simple) technology. This flashlight would be perfect for any occasion: camping, in the trunk for emergencies, in your bomb shelter... whaqtever, wherever and whenever.
It was charged when I received it, and has been going strong ever since. I also just left it on to see if you needed to constantly shake it to keep it charged, but it's kept a good beam for over an hour without any need of shaking. So far, I've only needed to shake it for my own amusement and never out of necessity.
The case is clear so you can see how it works, and there's a little red LED inside to let you know that each shake is working to recharge it. There's a magnet inside that slides back and forth inside of spools of copper wire, making the charge. I assume it's similar technology to that of self-winding watches, but I really don't know. But it's easy to see how this technology could translate into other products as well.
Bottom line: Flashlights that require batteries are obsolete. I'm converted, and will only be buying these going forward.
