Whether there is no power due to a storm or my boys just want a nighttime light show on their bedroom ceiling, it seems like the batteries are almost always dead in the numerous flashlights we have lying around. So when I found out about the Triggerlite self-recharging flashlight I knew I had to try one out.

The triggerlite is a very small portable flashlight that has rechargeable lithium ion batteries. You charge and recharge the flashlight by releasing the lock and squeezing the trigger on the flashlight. You use it and charge it at the same time. It can be recharged for up to an average of 400 to 500 times.

The only drawback I see to this flashlight is that if you are in an emergency/power outage situation, it is going to take you at least 2-3 minutes to charge the flashlight for initial use. Otherwise, it is a great portable flashlight that can be used in many different ways. It’s also eco-friendly!  And, since it’s only $7.99 everyone should pick one up. You can pick one of these useful gadgets up at K-mart stores. To learn more go to the official Triggerlite website.
