About the Freeplay Sherpa Xray LED

The Freeplay Xray LED Flashlight invites the user to participate in the science of converting their mechanical human energy into useful light. Built on the trusted Sherpa LED chassis, the Xray LED has crystal clear casings that flaunt the complex inner workings of the flashlight, without compromising any ruggedness or durability. This compact and robust flashlight incorporates failsafe Freeplay self-charge technology and mini USB recharge ability together with the reliability of ultra-bright white Light Emitting Diodes (LEDs). The LEDs provide excellent brightness, efficiency and shine time with their longevity providing the peace of mind of never needing to ever replace bulbs again. Ideal for both every day and emergency use the Xray LED is designed to be a serious tool, the self-charge system offering maximum dependability for those times when you can’t afford to be left in the dark by dead batteries.

A quick wind of about 60 seconds gives approximately 30 minutes of light on normal beam and you can wind more at any time for as much shine-time as you want. An LED charge level indicator tells you the optimal winding speed. Offering a choice of 2 brightness settings (economy or maximum brightness) allows you to choose the light setting according to your needs to extend shine times in self-charge or external charge modes. A switch mode power supply drives the LED cluster at a constant brightness, providing a high quality, reliable beam in either economy or maximum brightness settings.

The Xray LED is rechargeable and, fully charged, the flashlight provides up to 3 hours 20 minutes of ultra bright light, or 20 hours of normal light (economy setting). Internal mechanical components are specified to industrial standards for repeated use and long life.

Whether in your toolkit, the kitchen drawer, camping gear or the glove box in your car, with the Freeplay Xray LED, you’ve got dependable light anytime, anywhere.

Benefits of the Freeplay Sherpa Xray LED

Green energy - a sustainable solution that’s built to last. The power mechanism is tested to 500,000 input cycles, and the LEDs are rated up to 100,000 hours or 11 years of continuous use (24 hours a day).
The Xray LED offers a real alternative to grid electricity or fossil fuels, so the more you use your flashlight, the fewer batteries you’ll be throwing away.
When your batteries run out and you need to wind for power, the Freeplay self-charge mechanism converts over 74% of your kinetic energy into stored electricity.
Compact and rugged, it will fit into your drawer, your glove box, toolkit or backpack.
A constant brightness means dependable beam quality that does not fade away as the batteries get flatter.
The plastic molding and rubberized lens enclosure and body panels make it easy to carry and use when it is cold.
A great lighting solution to teach your kids about the value of green energy – and show them how their own energy can provide them with all of their lighting needs.
Lasts virtually forever.

Self-Charge

The self-charge system offers maximum dependability for those times when you can't afford to be left in the dark by dead batteries. The winder can be cranked in both directions and the harder you crank, the more energy you create. A crank level LED indicates the optimum winding speed.

AC

If you have a suitable AC adapter, you can charge the Sherpa LED from the wall. You can use any "mini-USB" AC adapter (including Freeplay's of course). Many newer cellphones and digital cameras use the same adapter, so you may already have one.

Lighting

A cluster of 7 ultra bright white 5mm LEDs provides extended shine times and ultimate dependability, never requiring replacement. Two brightness settings, energy saving and ultra bright, offer a choice between efficiency and brightness.

Durability

The Freeplay self-charge system is built around a custom designed, highly efficient alternator. The architecture of this patented system has been developed to maximize the ability of the user to convert human mechanical energy into stored electricity quickly and efficiently.

While the basis of Freeplay's superiority lies in the performance of this system, Freeplay has extended the engineering excellence to every aspect of the Sherpa LED.

The winder handle is made from tough glass reinforced Nylon and is designed, along with the grip of the flashlight, for comfort and ease of use.

The transmission (gear train) is constructed to high manufacturing tolerances from glass reinforced Nylon and Acetyl – dissimilar engineering plastics that dramatically increase the life of the gear train. The transmission has undergone accelerated lifetime testing in excess of 500,000 cycles.

Under self-charge conditions the batteries receive a conditioning charge that negates the memory effect common to rechargeable batteries and similarly increases their useful life. Accelerated lifetime tests on the batteries in the Freeplay self-charge system have reflected no significant capacity loss after 10,000 crank charge cycles.

The light source is a cluster of 7 ultra bright white 5 mm LED's. These offer bright white light but with significantly higher efficiency and lifetime than incandescent lamps, and are rated at up to 100,000 hours.

Power sources

Self-charge: AC alternator driven by the crank via transmission.
AC Adaptor (Not supplied): Standard mini-USB AC adapter (5-pin, 5V, 500mA).
Rechargeable battery: Non-removable Ni-MH battery pack, 3.6V.
