Ventus My Magic Torch

Price: £14.99 Contact: 01273 736896, www.ventusfreeenergy.com

The case looks the same as on the Baylis Eco, but the Ventus comes with more features. It can charge phones, plus you can revive it with a USB connection. Yet it only has a single LED, and while this gives a more tightly focused beam than the Baylis torch, it’s not as bright. The crank is smooth and easy to use: 60 seconds’ winding delivered half an hour of usable light.
