It has two ultra bright white LEDs that give off enough light for you to read, walk, analyse maps and go fishing to name but a few activities, and also comes with a dimmer so that should it be too bright, you can alter the light that it gives off. On full power, the lights are also known to last an impressive 3 hours!

So how does this fabulous gadget work? Basically, this waterproof product doesn't need batteries and simply requires sunlight. Even if it is cloudy, it will still charge up sufficiently to provide you with ample lighting; so it really shouldn't be underestimated.
