SunLight is Giving Away 500 Solar Flashlights
ecogeek.org — That's right, they're giving away their first 500 lights. And it's not a competition either. They don't put your name in a hat or make you sit through a timeshare lecture.

- MetroMPG, on 07/21/2008, -0/+6Solar rechargeable lights may be a good idea for off-grid applications, but I have to wonder about the built-in batteries. When they eventually wear out, how easily can they be replaced (obtained) by users in far-flung places (like developing countries)?
- SVOboy, on 07/21/2008, -0/+5I've already asked for mine, :)
- MattgUP, on 07/21/2008, -0/+8Requested mine. I like these buy one, give one programs.
- skewl, on 07/21/2008, -0/+3I think I'll give a try to fluorescent bulb recommendation..
- spywire, on 07/21/2008, -0/+1it's a non-rechargeable solar flash light.
- arjie, on 07/22/2008, -0/+2If it's non-rechargeable, where does the 'solar' come in?
- gavinhudson, on 07/22/2008, -0/+2I've been using something similar: a solar charger for the ipod, cell phone, and other small devices. So far, it's awesome.
- arjie, on 07/22/2008, -0/+1They have a buy one, give one offer running. It's effectively two flashlights for $30 for the higher end one, I think that's pretty decent and I'll get one.

EDIT: I would get one, but apparently they only ship to Puerto Rico and the United States. Ah well. - picciano, on 07/22/2008, -0/+1Hmmm, a flashlight that only operates when in direct light? I'll take two. That way they can they can charge each other up.
- wazzu07, on 07/22/2008, -0/+1Is it bad that I just want to make up an amazing story to get a free flash light? I mean I guess it's just a flash light...but still...!!!
