ChargeLight Gives You A Flashlight And A Battery Charger

KickStarter Friday - Flashlight charges up your mobile devices.

We all have devices which are single purpose in our homes. One of those is the simple flashlight and it sole purpose is to provide light. When you need it, it must provide light or it is no value. But, what if you could have that flashlight serve another purpose as well and one that is important to you. Such as being able to charge up your mobile devices as well as being able to provide you with light. That is exactly what the ChargeLight is designed to do by giving you light when you need it and charge up your mobile devices as a battery charger. A combination of two necessary items in today's world of mobile devices.

The ChargeLight is this week's KickStarter project and one that is worth a look. If you have not experienced the low battery indicator on your smart phone when you have no where to recharge the battery, then you are among the lucky few. So many have experienced that panic feeling of where to charge up your smartphone that a growing list of battery chargers has emerged. And the ChargeLight is the latest one coming to KickStarter. What makes the ChargeLight different is that it is a useful tool as a flashlight along with the great benefit of being a battery charger when you need to charge up your mobile devices.

As a flashlight, the ChargeLight has 4 different settings with the brightest being 250 Lumens. They are saying that it is 5 times brighter than your regular flashlight with light reaching out a distance of over 164 yards. The distance claim will have to be proven when the product is released. With the ability to charge up the battery in either the dock or directly to power, this gives you what you need in a small device.

For charging up your mobile device, expect to see a full charge to your smartphone from the ChargeLight. Though the Galaxy S4 will get about a 90% charge given its large battery. Other smartphones with larger capacity batteries will not get a full charge. But, that probably is not going to be a big deal as the primary purpose of a battery charger is to let you continue using your smart phone. Do not expect to get much of a charge on a tablet is they have much larger batteries in them. That is because the included 2600 mAh battery is not going to provide power to larger ones beyond its capacity.

The ChargeLight KickStarter project has 27 days to go and is one that you should take a look at. We all need to have a flashlight available for use and to have one that doubles as a battery charger is a good idea. The company website is at ChargeLight.com and refers you back to the KickStarter Project. Take a look at the contribution levels for one that is of interest to your. At the $50 level, you get the ChargeLight flashlight, the dock and USB cable. But, those are going fast so you will need to get over to the contribute page to pick your color. Once those are gone, the next level is at $60.

This is a great idea and one that most will take a look at.
