    Dynamo Torch
    -----------------

    Price: RM99.90
    Theme: -
    Height: 199mm
    Lights: 2 LEDs (Light Emitting Diodes)
    Rechargeble Battery

    Box art - Front
    ------------------


    The dynamo Torch is wrapped with a thin film of plastic shrinkwrap to expose the contents.

    Box art - Back
    ------------------


    The back has some general instructions on how it works. Basically, just cranking the arm to charge the battery.

    Personally, I think it should emphasize that the kinetic energy can be converted AND STORED into the battery for later usage. The first impression I had when I read the word "Dynamo" was those bicycle dynamos. Yes, I thought we need to keep cranking the arm to generate light.  Fortunately, its not the case!  Grin

    The Dynamo Torch
    =============


    There is a plastic recycable pin securing the toggle switch. The torch comes pre-charged, removing and pin and depressing the toggle switch instantly switchs the 2 LEDs on.



    The torch is poseable. However, the head, limbs can't be pulled out like your regular minifigs.

    The minifig hand on the left wrist has an additional handle to hold on to, so that one could crank it easier.

    Here is a picture of the torch with lights on under fluorescent lights.


    This is a picture with LED lights on but fluorescent ligths off.


    My wife always had this issue of picking up my son in the middle of the night. This is a pic when it is pitch dark.


    The LED light is just bright enough for her to see where my son is  Tongue
