The Freeplay Sherpa Wind Up and Rechargeable Torch batteries take very long to charge. With new led torches on the market this item is not the ideal torch. (read more)

Utter rubbish. It is the quickest charging crank torch available.

The Freeplay Sherpa Wind Up and Rechargeable Torch is always there when you need it (Except when the bulb goes)
It's very robust. I've dropped it several times without it causing any damage. Replacement bulbs are difficult to get hold off and so is the company. This appears to be a gripe from lots of people. (read more)

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 &pound;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.<br/><br/>Hope its not to late for you or anyone reading this freeplays number can be obtained from the contact page on freeplays website

Im assuming you work for a competitor as 30 seconds winding will give you 30 mins light with the Sherpa.

Now I tend to be a little bit of a worry-wart since 9/11 and more since Katrina. We take some very basic things for granted - food, water, light, heat etc... Bottom line is, every family / household needs to be able to survive at least 3 days before any outside help. In a MAJOR disruption, there can be no guarantees. The more independent we are the farther available resources can go to others. A flashlight is a standard item to have in any emergency kit. What a peace of mind it is to have... (read more)

The Freeplay Sherpa Wind Up and Rechargeable Torch should be a great idea - a torch that backs up a rechargable battery (mains adaptor supplied) with a manual crank. This design can be found on some radios (thanks to UK inventor Trevor Bayliss) and on manual chargers for mobile phones and for the most part it works quite well. The high beam setting is bright thanks to a Xenon-filled bulb, and winding the crank for 30 seconds gives you around 5 minutes of power on low beam.
