The advice is often to have a landline in the house in case there is a power outage and there's no power to charge your mobile phone.  Eton have now brought out the slimline Clipray Hand Crank LED Flashlight with USB Mobile Phone charger.  It's a must for all emergency and travel kits.  A well designed wind up light and mobile phone charger at a very affordable price.

The Carabiner Clip makes it very handy to clip on to a backpack for easy access or just to hang up somewhere handy at home ready for any emergency.

To power a mobile phone, all you need is a USB charger for your phone and you have instant eco power!

To use the powerful LED light simply crank the handle for 60 seconds at 2 cranks per second and it will give approximately 10 minutes of light.
