Manual torch

I saw this torchlight at one of those DIY stores near the office today. It is one of those torchlights that uses kinetic energy as source of power, something similar to those wanking torchlights that came out years ago. So, for RM3.50, it was a real bargain.

When I first started using this torch, it was very bright.
Somehow, when I cranked it, it was not as bright as I
thought it would be. Something suspicious here.....

So I let Kristine play with it for the
whole day rather than letting the
torch shine by itself


And I was right! What a fucking scam! The small black
piece I saw was nothing more than a small housing
for two small batteries and not some small miracle
rechargeables. When the white LEDs got dim, no matter
how hard I cranked it, it was the same. Damn it!

So, feeling cheated and pissed (because I could not put it back together again) I decided to look at the box for some instructions or disclaimers:

"This product is a new science and technology product and made with high and new science and technology. It can illuminate only placing it in rhythm."

This is a cheap plastic product which you have to crank it constantly


"No need any power, no environmental pollution. Low noise and health. Comparing with common torch, it can be several times on lift."

Yeah, right. The noise made from all the cranking sounds like wheezing engine.


"Constantly using this health torch, it can benefit to your palm, arm and shoulder stretching and blood circulation, so as to let your hands relax and brain clever, hand and brain coordinate and promote your brain memory and health composition.

If I wanted to exercise my hand, I would have gotten that wanking torch, OK? And yeah, it really worked on my brain because now, I will remember not buy any more of this crap. Waste my money only, you stupid Chinese wanker.

Hi,

Try not to let kids play too much with white LED torch light, it is very bright, that is one thing, another is, white LED was doped with phosphor (whitish), they essential had a die in there emitting UV to light up the phosphor.

next you know-lah. They just shine it into each others eye..

take care..
