Eyemax
Stylish self-powered AM/FM radio with flashlight
By Freeplay (EyeMax/Lt)
The folks at Freeplay have released an exciting follow-up to the extremely popular Ranger AM/FM radio. The Freeplay EyeMax. Like the Freeplay Ranger, the EyeMax features both a dynamo & solar charging system to ensure that the radio will always be ready when you need it.
Designed for both everyday use and emergency preparedness, the EyeMax is built with both durability & performance in mind. The large dynamic speaker provides exceptional sound, while the military grade charging system provides continuous power without the use of disposable batteries. A 30-second winding of the handle provides approx. 35 minutes of play. The built-in memort-free NiMh battery pack is big enough to provide up to 25 hours of playback on a full charge, and can be fully charged by the solar panel, dynamo crank, or AC adaptor.
The EyeMax also comes equipped with a built-in high efficiency LED flashlight with simple pushbutton on/off. A very handy feature during power outages.
Who's buying?...
The EyeMax is popular with home & cottage owners who are looking for appliances that reflect their commitment to renewable technologies. It is also popular with RV'ers who enjoy listening to the radio while relaxing under the stars, but would rather not waste batteries, or run an extension cord.
More than just a good idea...
The Freeplay EyeMax is another example of renewable technology being successfully integrated into common household items. It helps keep batteries out of our landfills, and reduces the need for more hydroelectric or coal-fired power stations.
