I really like all the new green technology items coming on the market. I had my eye on this solar powered flashlight I saw at a country store nearby. My fiance saw me looking at it, and I inadvertently said I would like to have one. Not thinking anything more about, I had forgotten.
A couple of months later, it was Christmas. Without me knowing about it, my fiance bought the flashlight for me as a gift. You can imagine that I was like a kid in a candy store. The mini solar panel was fascinating, and I marveled at how this little contraption worked. It has a clear case, so I can see all the inner workings inside. I do not know how it works, but I am glad someone has created this miniature version of a solar panel, and made it a flashlight. I can just keep it on a south-facing windowsill, and it will stay charged. No more batteries, at least for a while. Apparently, the small battery inside is a solar rechargeable one.
I am still quite impressed with it. It has a flashing red light for emergencies, a magnet, and a metal point to break glass. Now, I just need another one to keep on my dash. Well, I guess I can wait until next Christmas. In the meantime, I expect to see more home energysavings through new green technologies.
