A review of Life+Gear’s hand-cranked PSD NOAA flashlight has been posted over at SlashGear.com. 'It’s a fact of life that, when you go to investigate what could possibly be a gremlin under your car hood, you tend to discover that the AAs in your flashlight have succumbed already, so the Life+Gear PSD NOAA is off to a good start: the bulb might only be a 0.5 Watt LED, but the fact that it’s powered via the simple hand crank is a lifesaver for anyone, like me, that tends to forget about batteries until they’re actually needed. The PSD will also run on standard AA batteries or a DC power supply, too, but it’s bright enough under your own wrist power; one minute of cranking is enough for around 30 minutes of torchlight.'
