VARTA Dynamo Light
Hand-crank flashlight · battery-free · built-in cell

Power outage or batteries dead? The VARTA Dynamo Light recharges itself via hand crank: 1 minute of cranking delivers roughly 30 minutes of light – no batteries, no socket. Three white LEDs shine up to 1.5 hours, with energy stored in the built-in lithium-ion cell. The ideal emergency and camping backup light for home, car and backpack.

Buy the VARTA Dynamo Light – the battery-free emergency torch

The VARTA Dynamo Light solves the problem every conventional flashlight has: dead batteries. The built-in hand crank generates power on demand – whether after a power outage, while camping away from outlets or in a roadside breakdown. One minute of cranking yields about 30 minutes of light; on a full charge of the built-in 120 mAh Li-Ion cell it runs up to 1.5 hours. Three white 5 mm LEDs deliver 28 lumens with about 24 m reach – more than enough for path finding, stairwell navigation or basement searches during a blackout. The rugged ABS/PC body with TPR rubber padding is IPX4 splash-resistant and weighs just 150.5 g. Buy now at Swiss-Sale.ch – your Swiss source for VARTA emergency gear.

The ideal emergency backup light – always ready

Power outages, earthquakes, floods, long hikes without electricity – conventional flashlights become the problem in all these scenarios: either the batteries are dead or you simply don’t have any. The Dynamo Light is the answer: crank for thirty seconds and you have light, without needing any consumables. This makes it the ideal emergency backup light at home, in the roadside breakdown kit, in the backpack of your hiking gear or in the Swiss emergency supply kit (the Federal Office for Civil Protection FOCP recommends a flashlight in the emergency stockpile).

Rugged body – ABS, polycarbonate and TPR rubber

The Dynamo Light is built for serious use: the body is impact-resistant ABS plastic with polycarbonate (PC) for the transparent lens windows, padded with thermoplastic rubber (TPR) at the edges. IPX4 protection makes it splash-resistant – rain, residual flood water or snow are no problem. The side hand crank folds flat against the body after use, so the light stows compactly in an emergency kit. At 150.5 g (incl. cell) and 142 × 52 × 42 mm it fits any car glove box or hiking pouch.

Why a crank light versus a battery light?

A conventional alkaline-battery flashlight has two weaknesses in an emergency: first, you have to keep batteries on hand (leak risk after 5–10 years of storage), and second, in a crisis batteries are often sold out. The Dynamo Light is independent of consumables: you can store it ten years unused and it’s ready at the next power outage – even with an empty cell you only need one minute of cranking for five minutes of light. For emergency stockpile, survival training and outdoor use, the no-compromise solution.

Three white 5 mm LEDs – long-life light source

The light uses three classic 5 mm LED modules with white light. These LEDs have a lifespan of over 100,000 hours – the light is more likely to be retired due to dynamo mechanical wear than to LED ageing. 28 lumens is enough for path finding in stairwells, basement searches, tent navigation or map reading on hikes. For emergency use that’s ideal – more lumens would be pure energy waste and would drain the cell faster.
