When AIT announced the Lightstorm SL1, we knew it would be a hit. It's a flashlight, it's a lantern, and best of all, it uses no batteries of any kind. Not even an internal rechargeable.
Attention campers!
The SL1 has a fold-out hook on the back, making it a great tent light.
No batteries? How is this possible?
AIT is a pioneer in the application of super capacitors to consumer products. Unlike rechargeable batteries, a capacitor has an incredibly long lifetime, typically measured in decades. AIT has developed special circuitry that enables a capacitor to perform like a battery, but with the adavantages of wide operating temperatures and zero corrosion.

A better flashlight concept
A flashlight, a lantern, and more! The LightStorm SL1 dynamo LED light is truly unique. With the fold out handle it can be held and used as a flashlight. With the fold out hook it can be hung and used as a lantern. And with it's magnetic feet, the LightStorm SL1 dynamo LED light can be attached to car hoods and tool boxes serving as a work light or emergency beacon. The SL1 dynamo LED light features two different flood light settings. It also features red StarCore LEDs that flash once per second, enabling LightStorm SL1 to be used as a warning indicator at accident scenes and as a signaling device in emergency situations. LightStorm SL1 also has a built-in power jack and comes with a charging cable and Mini USB connector for charging music players, Blackberries, and Motorola V3 / V6 cell phones (other cell phone connectors can be bought separately). And like all LightStorm dynamo LED flashlights, SL1 uses a Carbon Ultra-Capacitor to store energy, which means that it will never need batteries and can be counted on to work over the long haul even when subjected to harsh environments.

The LightStorm Flashlight Difference...
Each LightStorm wind up torch uses a Carbon Ultra-Capacitor to store energy - not rechargeable batteries. This feature distinguishes LightStorm LED flashlights from all other crank flashlights - LightStorm flashlights will provide years of unfailing illumination - all other wind up torch lights will soon end up in landfills when their non-replaceable batteries fail to work. With Carbon Ultra-Capacitors, LightStorm flashlights can operate in hot and cold environments and can be recharged over a hundred thousand times. And unlike batteries, Carbon Ultra-Capacitors will never corrode.
The LightStorm CL1 crank flashlight and LightStorm DL1 dynamo flashlight feature a Quasar 1/2 watt (105,000 mcad) LED and precision parabolic reflector. The high intensity beam from these lights will spot illuminate a 9-ft (3m) area 80-ft (26m) away. Due to its unique saucer design, the LightStorm SL1 dynamo led flashlight uses a compact lens to refract light from the Quasar LED. The cone of light produced by SL1 will flood illuminate a 12-ft (4m) area 25-ft (8m) away.
Each LightStorm wind up torch uses a brushless dynamo generator that efficiently converts mechanical energy into electrical energy without suffering wear and fatigue.
In addition to the Quasar LED exclusively featured in each LightStorm wind up torch, they also use a variety of StarCore® LEDs. LightStorm CL1 uses 2 white StarCore LEDs for flood illumination. LightStorm DL1 uses 2 green LEDs for piecing through water, smoke and fog. LightStorm SL uses 3 white StarCore LEDs for a broad area flood illumination and 3 red StarCore LEDs for emergency signaling.
Each LightStorm light also has a built-in power jack with charging cable that plugs into Mini USB connector which is suitable for charging Motorola V3, V6, and Blackberry phones as well as MP3 and MP4 music players. Additional connectors can be purchased separately.
The entire family of LightStorm wind up torch LED flashlights use state-of-the-art components and are ruggedly constructed in ABS housings to resistant motor oil and diesel fuel. The LightStorm DL1 dynamo flashlight is also waterproof to a depth of 200-ft (61m). Without a doubt, LightStorm crank flashlights surpass all others in performance and versatility.
