Here's what other sites are saying:

From REI:
"Great for car camping and emergency preparedness, this versatile light source never requires batteries! Winner of a 2007 Consumer Electronics Show Innovations Award for superior design. Compact lantern features a cluster of seven LED bulbs; dimmer switch lets you adjust from area lighting to nightlight use. Single, side-mounted LED bulb provides flashlight-style directional lighting. Rechargeable NiMH battery powers light cluster up to 70 hrs. in nightlight mode and 2.5 hrs. at maximum brightness. It also charges the directional light up to 70 hrs. But should the NiMH run down while power is out, no problem—simply wind the handle for quick, dependable lighting. Sixty seconds of winding powers cluster up to 2 hrs. on nightlight and 2 min. at maximum brightness; powers directional light for 12 min. USB-compatible wall adaptor (sold separately) recharges NiMH battery to 100% capacity in 20 hrs. LED bulbs are nearly indestructible and provide as much as 100,000 hrs. use. Features a wire-bale handle curved to accommodate fingers; bale also provides a convenient means of hanging lantern."
