Compact Rechargeable Torches

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

This Plug-in Flashlight Offers Great Convenience to Use and Rejuice

— June 5, 2015 — Tech
As a concept product for the famous brand Fiskars, Dan Taylor came up with this idea for a plug-in flashlight. The slick design is cylindrical and comprises two distinctive parts that fit together perfectly: the orange end contains the rechargeable battery and the black half integrates the lightbulb, reflectors and associated electrical components.

A series of tiny dots along the side of the Fiskars Torch illuminate to indicate the level of charge in the fuel cell. As the electricity lowers, you can pull the plug-in flashlight apart to reveal a pair of socket prongs; simply insert this side into a wall outlet.

Ideal for traveling and camping with occasional access to power, this pocketable light is manufactured with great utility.
