No Light? No Batteries? No Problem!

Have you ever had your power go out on a dark and stormy night only to discover that your flashlight’s batteries are long dead and you can’t find those AAs that you stored away for emergencies? Believe me when I say this unfortunate situation has happened to me more than once. That’s why I simply love, love, love this week’s top product: the crank up emergency light. No longer will you need to perform a scavenger hunt throughout your dark house searching high and low for those never to be found batteries. This cool device requires nothing more than a few cranks to get it started -- no batteries! -- and provides you with precious LED light. It also includes a built-in compass, just in case you are lost in the woods and need to find your way out. Seriously though, every person should own at least one of these gadgets – I keep mine right under the kitchen sink so it’s easy to locate when the power fails. Another great storage spot is in your night table drawer.
