Flashlight with No Batteries
Forever Flashlights $24.99 at ThinkGeek.com
If you can handle shaking this flashlight for about 30 seconds then you can get up to 5 minutes of light. As you shake the flashlight, a magnet runs over a metal coil which then generates electricity. If you need to use it for longer it can be shaken for 10-15 seconds every 2 or 3 minutes. For optimal usage, try persuading someone else to do the shaking for you!
This waterproof flashlight uses no batteries or bulbs. It does use a bright LED visible up to a mile and lasts for thousands of hours. In fact, their website states it doesn’t burn-out like a typical light bulb – it should never need replacement.

I have one, it works ok but the light is on the dim side. Also when shaking make sure you hang on to the lens cover or it will shoot off and the flashlight insides will go with it. At that point you better be good at puzzles. There are better no battery flashlights.

I totally agree with Greg. There are better no battery flashlights out there. I did my research and found the ORIGINAL shake flashlight manufacturer. Applied Innovative Technologies has the patents for this technology. All those other shakes are imitators. It’s really sad to hear you can’t have a great idea without someone else rippin’ it off. Anyway, NightStar flashlights are the best i have ever found. Check them out!
