Mini solar torch

How many times have you tried to use a torch only to find that the batteries are flat? These days there's no excuse - with a lot of wind up and solar powered torches available, you can get torch light when you need it and keep down the number of batteries that end up on landfills.

This handy little solar powered LED torch is small enough to fit into a pocket or attach to a key ring and creates a surprisingly powerful light. It weighs just 78gm. Five hours of direct sunlight will give one hour of shine time. Fully charged it'll give two and a half hours of shine time.

Nigel says

I love this little torch. It's light, fast charging, pretty bright, and it even seems to charge indoors - whenever I've demonstrated it, the light has come on immediately, even out of the box. It's perfect for taking on holiday.

Price around £4.99
