I hate it when the batteries of my flashlights seem to run out of juice when I needed the most. Often I need to brave in the dark and end up with a stubbed toe but ever since I got the Garrity Power Lite 3 LED Crank Light, it’s never the case since.

The first time I got the Garrity Power Lite 3 LED Crank Light, I thought that it might be too much of a work just to get some light. Boy, was I wrong. It is actually easy to crank because of its rubberized waist. Cranking up the flashlight is quick and easy without any obstacles because of its narrow rubberized waist coupled with the angle of the extended hand-crank.

In my opinion, the mechanism produces long lasting power source for the flashlight. For an hour use, 3 minutes of cranking should do it. I also find that if you turn off the flashlight after cranking, it will actually store the charge for quite some time. This feature proves to be handy when there’s an unexpected blackout.

The feature I like most is the ability to control the brightness output of the lights. The first click of the power button will automatically turn on all 3 LED bulbs. A second click will reduce it to 1 bulb, if you want a dimmer light. The 1 light option will also allow the power to retain more life.

Although the light is bright and illuminates quite a distance, I find that the Garrity Power Lite 3 LED Crank Light is not as bright as the conventional battery operated flashlights. However, it serves its purpose well in emergencies or in other situations that may not need the brightness and wider light beams.

Being an avid camper, a good flashlight/ lantern is a must in my pack. The Garrity KP052 Rechargeable 20 LED Crank Lantern with AM/FM Radio is one of the best I have used so far.

The great thing about this lantern is that it is rechargeable not only by an AC/ DC adapter but also by a hand crank. I love that it can be manually recharged because face it, where would you find an AC/ DC adapter in the woods? It also has an alternate power source from three AA batteries should the rechargeable battery runs low.

The lantern is not the brightest one around but the light is clear and sufficient enough to light your immediate area. You can also adjust the brightness of the light should you feel necessary but for myself, I think it would be a rare occasion to turn down the power.

There is also a cell phone charger port and an AM/FM radio built into the lantern. I was skeptical of the radio at first but it surprisingly works well. It’s great when you want to get updated with the weather forecast when you’re out camping. I’ve yet to try the cell phone charger (I leave them at home anyways when I go out camping) but it is connected through a USB adapter.

To conclude, this is a good product with lots of bells and whistles for an affordable price. The Garrity KP052 Rechargeable 20 LED Crank Lantern with AM/FM Radio is not only useful for outdoor activities but also great during power outages.
