We've seen those other dynamo lanterns. You know the ones... they've got radios, sirens, and just about anything else the designer can think of. Problem is, they forgot about actual lantern performance.
So, Freeplay decided to create the Indigo - a lantern version of their incredibly popular LED flashlight line. The Indigo is a lantern that is first & foremost a lantern. Built tough like all Freeplay products, the Indigo features performance characteristics & small size that stands above all other rechargeable lanterns.
