Shake Flashlights | NightStar LED Shake Flashlight, Shake Light 40 & Accessories

Rechargeable shake flashlights use a capacitor or NiMH battery to store electrical energy in their storage cell aka battery. Shaking the LED flashlight so the rare earth magnet passes through the copper wire coil generates electricity, which recharges the battery. The very efficient shake charging system provides years of maintenance free operation. These lights are also known as Forever Flashlights.

NightStar LED Shake Flashlights

NightStar’s are globally recognized as the first and best no battery rechargeable shake flashlight. A capacitor stores the electrical energy. Providing decades of worry-free illumination a NightStar mechanically powered flashlight is the ultimate  emergency ight. Using a white or green LED the light is capable of daily use or lighting the way during a power outage. With a crush resistant polycarbonate plastic housing, available in clear or black, the light operates in extreme hot or cold conditions. In addition, NightStar is submersible to depths exceeding 200 feet and floats. Another unique feature is suspending the light horizontally to operate as a compass. The optically engineered acrylic lens points to magnetic north.
