DON'T BE LEFT OUT IN THE DARK THIS WINTER - SEE THE LIGHT WITH FREEPLAY ENERGY!
Make dark mornings and darker evenings a thing of the past with the latest wind-up Jonta and Xray LED torches from Freeplay Energy.

Both torches provide a glove-box sized light for any motoring emergency, walking in unlit areas or a failsafe precaution in case of a powercut.

The sleek silver Jonta wind up torch is completely rechargeable and offers 100,000 hours of LED light powered by diamond sharp Luxeon Star LED technology which produces a 50m beam and signal visibility up to 3km. Even better, the bulb will never need replacing. This, coupled with Freeplay Energy's wind-up technology (30 seconds wind time = 10 minutes of power) permanently eliminates the need for batteries, making it kinder to the environment as well as to your pocket!

The intelligent microprocessor manages the functions of the torch and the battery level indicator provides details on the charge level of the torch, with a warning when it's time to power up. With 24 hours of constant light, the Jonta provides the ideal winter companion. The Jonta torch is priced at around £49.99 and is available from John Lewis and www.amazon.co.uk.

Also available this winter is the small but perfectly formed Xray LED, which is sure to help you through the darkest days. Available in funky blue, green, purple and transparent casings, the Xray LED is powered by a cluster of seven super energy efficient and hugely dependable LEDs, each with a lifespan of literally thousands of hours, offering a brilliant and reliable light source.

Ideal for fitting in the glove compartment or handbag, the Xray LED is the perfect partner in the fight against the gloom this winter! Wind it up in about 30 seconds and get approximately 20 minutes of light on normal beam with no need for batteries! Fully charged the flashlight provides an incredible three hours and 20 minutes of light and retailing at only £29.99, this torch offers great value as well as an excellent lighting solution. Stockists include Argos, John Lewis and all wider retail outlets.
