I've used one of these all summer for camping trips. Previously I used a standard torch with rechargeable AA batteries but these can have a habit of dying just when they're needed and it's expensive to keep buying fresh sets.
This torch is just the job. It provides sufficient illumination for in a tent, walking around a camp site in pitch black and has been very useful at home during power cuts. It's lightweight, reliable and dependable and I know it's there when it's needed so I won't be reverting back to conventional battery-powered torches.
I haven't timed how long it takes to wind but I've definitely had 30 minutes continuous use from it.

Being a mechanic I use my Maglite every day. A lot of my workmates use this and recommended it. Before upgrading with these LED's I use to go through more than a pair of batteries every week, now they last about 2 months! One of my mates has had his for over 2 years and it is still going strong without the hassle and cost of bulb changes. Keep in mind there is no focusing but in my job that is an advantage, you don't want to keep fiddling with the head all the time.
Also, the beam is very smooth and lights up a broad area without the ugly rings and black spots I had before.
This is not for spotting squirrels up a tree at a 100 paces but for for medium close work it is perfect.

I bought these lights not quite sure what "sparkle lights" meant exactly. It turns out that the lights flash: the 240 bulbs are wired in 24 circuits of 10 (not adjacent bulbs), each of which has one special flasher bulb which causes itself and the other bulbs in its circuit to slowly flash on and off together. The overall affect is a twinkling of the entire set as different groups of bulbs switch on and off independently.
It is possible to replace the 24 'flasher' bulbs with ordinary bulbs in order to make all 240 bulbs in the set stay lit continuously. Unfortunately there are not enough spare bulbs to do this with the bulbs supplied with the set, but a mail order form for bulbs (of either type) is included in the set and is also on ... Read More:

The product is good but the service provided by the seller is awful. They never replied to query about delivery date and despite requesting them to help me as I was going to be out stationed, they never bothered to reply. Avoid this seller if you can.
