The LightStorm CL-1 uses cutting edge "ultra capacitor" technology instead of batteries. This makes the LightStorm CL-1 the perfect flashlight to have on hand for emergency use, household jobs, camping, etc. By winding the crank mechanism, you create the energy needed to power the LEDs. The energy you create is stored in the ultra capacitor for up to 4 weeks. A maximum of 2 minutes of cranking (2 cranks per second) is needed to fully charge the capacitor.
The LightStorm CL-1 LED flashlight has to output modes - a single 1/2 watt LED for a spot beam and 2 lower wattage LEDs for flood lighting. Just press the switch located on top of the LightStorm CL1 to turn the flashlight on. To change output modes, just turn the flashlight off then on again.
