Review on ARCCR100R SNG: American Crank-Powered Flashlight Smartphone with Enhanced SEO by Andy Edwards

Flashlight was well charged upon delivery. It has a handle, three LEDs, a USB mobile phone charger and a carabiner. There is a green light on the top that lights up when the device is charging. return troublesome, so I'll go. However, here are a few things I want to know before buying. Get ready to shoot a lot. The first charge took several hours. Since then, the LED batteries only light up for a few minutes and then dim. the brightest light, when the device is cranked. Stop cranking and the light will start dimming in less than a minute. Interestingly, the green light comes on when the flashlight is charging. In my opinion, this light is completely unnecessary as the device only charges when switched on. There is no battery indicator. A battery indicator would be very, very helpful. Without them, it's impossible to know if the flashlight is fully or partially charged. The flashlight's USB port hasn't charged my phone since day one. I tried three phones. Not only did the phone not charge, but the charging indicator on the phone never showed that it was charging at all. I've seen others that charge manually or via USB. Not this one. The spin is loud. A flashlight is always noisy due to the way it charges. It's louder than what I had before, but that doesn't bother me. The carabiner is strong and strong enough that I don't have to worry about it falling off. The carabiner can actually be the best feature of the flashlight. Light. The LEDs on this device emit a bright light with a bluish tint. It was bright enough to glow well under car seats at night when I was looking for a dropped bunch of keys. It's also bright enough to light the path for a few minutes at night. Final Thoughts I wanted something that would provide light and charge a cell phone in the event of a power outage. The light stays bright for a few minutes but doesn't work when the phone is charging. The failure to charge is pretty disappointing if you're looking for that particular combo. I'm also disappointed that the light doesn't last more than a few minutes even after the light has been on for 10-15 minutes. However, it is durable and although it does not burn for long, the flashlight works. I'm keeping it, but still looking for a flashlight that also charges (or charges) a cell phone.
