Tools and Hardware Reviews of Life Gear LL01Y LifeLight
Customer Review: Impressive!
Summary: 5 Stars
I was so impressed with other LifeGear products, I thought I'd try this one out for a recent camping trip I went on. The great part about it is it doesn't need batteries, just wind the crank on the back for a couple minutes and you generate hours of light! Another cool thing about it is the built-in radio. You can even plug your iPod into it and the sound is pretty good. I like it much better than the traditional camping lanterns because you don't have to worry about remembering propane tanks or batteries.Customer Review: Lanterns Have Come a Long Way
Summary: 5 Stars
This Is the lantern to get If your looking for light when the power goes out just to play cards by, or for seeing In pitch black to find your way to and use the Bathroom. I had a really good flashlight that just didn't make It for anything but walking. When this light came I thought how small It looked and probably was not going to do the job. Boy was I wrong.
The best thing also Is the hand crank In case you run out of batteries. Makes this Invaluable. And for $16.95 this Is such a deal. No It may not be made for rain or rugged outdoor weather, but that would cost a lot more and Is all unnecessary. The radio Is not the greatest but Is just a secondary feature for this kind of money. I keep a walkman charged.
But If the power Is out for an extended time the radio will come In handy.
It's so bright for so small. Wonderful Item.
More bonus features of being able to charge your cell etc. REALLY make this the Home lantern to get for emergencies!

The LifeLight will fit easily in my emergency kit for Hurricane Prepardness. I like the idea that it works by cranking and will work without batteries. Gives a great light.Customer Review: Lifesaver during Hurricane Ike
Summary: 5 Stars
I had come across this lantern at a store and just picked one up to have. Hurricane Ike came a couple of weeks later. The light stays on for a good amount of time with only a few cranks. We had issues with the radio reception but I think that it was our location rather than the light itself. There is a small night light on the lamp that would stay lit for upwards of 8 hours on a few cranks. My then 4 year old, would take it to bed with her and because it would stay lit all night she wouldn't get scared and could get up and go to the bathroom and whatnot. I discovered the cell phone adapter AFTER the hurricane and they cheerfully sent me one for my iPhone. (although the cell towers were out so it didn't really matter anyway). I have not tested that out, but I imagine that it would give some charge but not a full one. The power was out for 2 weeks, so having this on hand and not going through batteries was a LIFESAVER!! I am ordering a couple more to have on hand just in case there is another hurricane.Customer Review: Light Ok but questionable Phone Charging Cabaility
Summary: 3 Stars
The light is decent for the price. But I bought this model to get its cell phone charging cabability also (which they say is free). However, to my surprise, you have to go online to order the 'exact' cell phone adapter (shipping and handling NOT included) for your EXACT cell phone model. And despite my having a common Nokia cell phone, none of their listed adapters would work. They said that they would do me the favor of letting me know (via email) if they ever come out with an adapter to fit my VERY COMMON Nokia cell phone. If I knew it was going to be this much trouble, I would have gotten a different crank LED lantern for the same price, but with better lighting capability.
