BoGo Solar LED Flashlight Review

The BoGo Solar LED Flashlight may sound like an oxymoron—a solar flashlight?  But if you need a flashlight, doesn’t that mean it’s dark?  Well, not exactly.  The concept of the BoGo flashlight was actually invented to give children in developing countries the ability to study and play at night without electricity.  They would simply leave the flashlight out in the sun during the day so it would charge up and then use it at night.  BoGo, in fact, stands for Buy One, Give One, and every time a person purchased a BoGo light, one was donated to a child in a third world community.

The BoGo Solar LED Flashlight features six bright LEDs that can provide up to eight hours of light after they’ve been charged up for ten hours.  The batteries in the flashlights will last between 750 and 1,000 nights, giving kids almost three years of study time.  The flashlight is resistant to breaking and is water resistant, so it can handle just about anything kids can throw at it.  It also features a glow in the dark strip so it can easily be found at night.  The solar panels on the flashlight can last for up to 20 years.

The BoGo light uses three NiCad or NiMH AA rechargeable batteries to power the light, and it can be hung to provide overhead light thanks to the convenient carrying hook.  Even if you’re not a child who needs light to study by, you can find uses for this great flashlight.  It’s very handy in an emergency or if your electricity goes out, but of course, that’s only if you’ve charged it.  If you remember to leave it out in the sun every now and then, you’ll always have a really bright flashlight around when you need one.
