 Power

Self-Charge: The Freeplay Kito is designed to be a reliable tool. The self-charge system offers maximum dependability for those times when you can't afford to left in the dark by dead batteries. A quick wind (about 60 seconds) gives approximately 1 hour of lightand you can wind again at any time for as much shine time as you want. The winder can be cranked in both directions and the harder you crank, the more energy you create.

 Never worry about replacing batteries or bulbs again, or even recharging from the wall.

 Light

With the reliability of an ultra-bright white Light Emitting Diode (LED), the Kito LED flashlight provides excellent brightness and shine time with the peace of mind of never needing to ever replace the batteries or bulb or even the need for an external power supply.

Durability

The Freeplay self-charge system is built around a custom designed, highly efficient alternator. The architecture of this patented system has been developed to maximize the ability of the user to convert human mechanical energy into store electricity quickly and efficiently.

While the basis of Freeplay's superiority lies in the performance of this system, Freeplay has extended the engineering excellence to every aspect of the product.

The winder handle is made from tough glass reinforced Nylon and along with the ergonomic design of the lantern has made the product comfortable and easy to use.

The transmission (gear train) is constructed to high manufacturing tolerances from glass reinforced Nylon and Acetyl dissimilar engineering plastics that dramatically increase the life of the gear train. The transmission has undergone accelerated lifetime testing in excess of 500000 cycles.

Under self-charge conditions the batteries receive a conditioning charge that negates the memory effect common to rechargeable batteries and similarly increases their useful life. Accelerated lifetime tests on the batteries in the Freeplay self-charge system have reflected no significant capacity loss after 10000 crank charge cycles.

Freeplay Self Powered products are truly powered wherever you goanytime, anywhere.
