I always had the impression that solar flashlights were a good idea, but that they needed development because the first ones only held a charge for a short time, so they needed to be stored in direct light. Solar technology has been improving though, and a whole new generation of solar powered tools have busted into the market.

Check out these awesome solar hybrid flashlights from BuyGreen.com It generates renewable power from sun or room light and stores it for later use. No need for shaking or cranking – it’s ready to go when you need it! This flashlight can hold a single charge for over 3 years!!

The Hybrid Solar Lite is 100% water proof up to depths of 80 feet and it floats! Extreme temperatures do not affect the light, this solar flashlight is super durable and BuyGreen guarantees it for life.
