burny020's Review of Freeplay Sherpa Wind Up and Rechargeable Torch
8th Feb 2008
Overall Rating
- Value for money
re-chargeable with mains adaptor and with revolving handle.
Bad Points
since I have had my torch I have had to replace the twin filament bulb twice. After much hunting and numerous phone calls and emails, some to the USA, I find that the bulbs are not available as spare items!! What is th use of an expensive torch with no bulb?
General Comments
Not value for money as replacement bulbs are not available as a spare item.

Sorry over a year ago since you posted your comment but i had the same problem as you i searched the internet everywhere for spare bulbs, in the end i just phone frreeplay and they sold me 2 spare bulbs for £5 over the phone, the freeplay sherpa with standard bulbs is now discontinued in favout for the led version but spare bulbs are still avaliable direct from freeplay, they arrived the next day.
Hope its not to late for you or anyone reading this freeplays number can be obtained from the contact page on freeplays website
