Since then, breakthroughs each decade have shed light into every corner of our lives.The latest innovation in the light business is the state-of-the-art LED flashlight.
LED or Light Emitting Diode is powered by converting the energy of motion into electrically energy by repeatedly passing a high-power magnet through a coil of wire.
A capacitor then stores the electrical energy to power the white light LED.
LED flashlights will never need batteries or charging since its energy source is motion.
LED flashlights also do not use bulbs.
