A never ending light in times of crises
In response to a report by the Institution of Civil Engineers (ICE), warning that homes in the UK could be without light for long periods by 2020, Freeplay Energy Group, pioneer of self-sufficient products, is encouraging retailers to stock up on its Sherpa Torch, the world's most reliable torch.

By 2020, 80% of the gas that fuels Britain's power stations and domestic central heating will be piped from politically unstable countries thousands of miles away. The report states that mechanical failure, sabotage and terrorist attacks would lead to power cuts within days.

Being left in the dark during power cuts can be a thing of the past with Freeplay's Sherpa Torch that incorporates the company's fail-safe technology. A rechargeable battery supported by the innovative wind-up technology, makes the Sherpa a serious piece of kit when in a crisis. Designed as two flashlights in one, there's normal beam and ultra beam, using a high-efficiency, xenon-filled, dual filament bulb. A quick 30-second wind will give around 8 minutes of normal light.

Top-up rewinds keep the light shining for as long as the power cut lasts and at just £34.99 this is a sensible investment. For stockist information call 0116 234 4644.
