FARADAY PRINCIPLE OF ELECTROMAGNETIC ENERGY
Forever Flashlights never need bulbs or batteries! Just shake and produce light forever!


The Forever Flashlight uses the Faraday Principle of Electromagnetic Energy to eliminate the need for batteries. The Faraday Principle states that if an electric conductor, like copper wire, is moved through a magnetic field, electric current will be generated and flow into the conductor.

This is the principle by which the Forever Flashlight operates. In addition, Forever Flashlights use LED bulbs which are both bright and will not burn out. By shaking the Forever Flashlight back and forth for 15-30 seconds, enough electricity is generated to light the LED bulb for up to five minutes of continuous light.

The Forever Flashlight uses a super bright blue LED light that is highly visible, allowing you to see exactly what you need to see, when you need to see it.

Ordering

1. Is my credit card secure?

We accept all major credit cards and you can safely enter your credit card details via our secure server, which encrypts all submitted information.

Our secure socket layer (SSL) software is the industry standard and among the best software available today for secure commerce transactions. It encrypts all of your personal information including credit card number, name and address so that it cannot be read as the information travels over the Internet.

We believe that transmitting encrypted credit card information through this method is significantly more secure than sending them through a fax, phone call or regular mail (none of which are encrypted and are far more easily intercepted).

General Flashlight

1. How is the brightness of the flashlight measured?
The brightness is measured in LUX which is the measurement of metric brightness . The brightness of the large Forever Flashlight is 7400 LUX at zero feet. The brightness of the small Forever Flashlight is 3680 LUX at zero feet.

Zero feet being one inch in front of the lens. To convert to English terms, 1 LUX = 0.929 Foot Candles. One foot candle is the amount of light one square foot a surface receives when it's one foot away from a candle.

2. If I shake the flashlight for more than thirty seconds can I get more than five minutes of burn time?
Five minutes is the average duration of light you will receive. It is possible you could get more but at most only a couple of minutes. The longer you shake it, the brighter the light will become. Once the light dims you can shake it again for 15 to 30 seconds and full power is restored. Just shake and produce light forever!

back to top

3. Will the light work well in adverse conditions?
This light is tough. It is completely waterproof, floats, temperature has no effect until 140* F, which is the melting point of plastic. Drop it and it will continue to operate without a problem.

back to top

4. How can the light bulb never wear out?
The Forever Flashlight uses a LED (Light Emitting Diodes). LEDs are just tiny light bulbs that fit easily into an electrical circuit. But unlike ordinary incandescent bulbs, they don't have a filament that will burn out, and they don't get especially hot. They are illuminated solely by the movement of electrons in a semiconductor material, and they last just as long as a standard transistor.

5. Is the large flashlight brighter than the small flashlight?
The differences in size between the two flashlights, do not affect the brightness or range. Both lights have a range of up to 1 mile. The larger light enjoys a larger LED which emits a larger diameter of light and a larger amount of coverage per square feet.

This is the original Forever Flashlight manufactured by Excalibur Electronics. Since its inception, others have tried to mimic the Forever Flashlight. These companies produce copycat models that look almost exactly like ours. They market their products under other catchy brand names and/or even using the phrase "Forever Flashlight" in their marketing ploys.

But the similarities stop there. You may save a couple of bucks on a copycat flashlight, but the poor performance you will get from copycat flashlights is not worth any small savings you might get. The performance of Forever Flashlight knockoffs range from almost no light produced at all, to very dim beams that burn out within seconds. Don't be fooled trying to save a buck or two!

If you are shopping around for the best price and think you've found the best deal, be sure to inquire with the company offering such a bargain and demand to know if their light is produced by Excalibur Electronics.

If you purchase a knockoff, you will soon see the light....or not!
