The photo above was taken in a dim room without
using a flash. The light on the left is a BayGen FreePlay
handcranked light.
It weighs 4 pounds, 1 1/4 ounces, is 9 1/2" long and 6" high, the
light output is feeble at best, and it cost $70.00!!! On the right is a standard 2 "D"
cell Ray-O-Vac "Workhorse" flashlight with 2 alkaline batteries; it
weighs 13 1/2 ounces and is 7" long and 2 1/2" wide, and even at that
short distance the light is not focused properly. In the middle
is the LED flashlight; it weighs 5 1/4 ounces, is 6" long and is 2 1/2"
wide - and it obviously has the most focused and best light output!
THE SUPER BRIGHT LED LIGHT IS
CLEARLY THE BEST FLASHLIGHT!!!

I recently purchased two flashlights and two radios from
your store. Something has been telling me recently to prepare for the
worst. Well guess what-- Hurricane Katrina! We live out in the country
near Hattiesburg, MS., about 80 miles north of Gulfport and we had
category 2 winds that toppled huge trees and tore down power lines and
ruined houses and businesses. The flashlights were great! We could give
them to our grandchildren and not have to worry about the batteries
running out. We also used the radios because I did not realize that all
the radio stations and the TV station would go down locally. We
had storm damage but nothing that can't be fixed. Two of my children
that live on the coast lost everything.

....The Wick Shop has sent you a
package...."And what a package I received!!!! After purchasing
several L. E. D. flashlights to be used at work, this one produces a
superior "quality" of light, even from those I paid higher prices to
own. The radio is much more than I expected and I am impressed,
which is not an easy thing to do. Thanks we'll do business again! Rich Sept. 8, 2005

I ordered a couple of lights from you before
and my wife and I love them. They work as well as advertised so we are
going to start giving them as gifts. Your site has been a great help to
us, thank you! Nathan

more in a week or so. Again Thanks, Nash

I received my radio and LED light yesterday ( Monday
about noon) pumped up the batts in the light per the instructions, it
works great and is just like you said it would be. But the radio
is even better , with a BayGen roll up antenna it receives great. Even
here in OKLA, I got Japan , China, Germany , BBC , Cuba , Formosa ,
Norway , and many more I could not I. D. because they were not in
English , and thanks for the SW listing on your web site. A Fun way to
spend an evening with the grand kids. I said it before and say it now "
you did good" Thanks much, Curtis

I have just received the latest addition from Miles'
Survival Shop supplies - the LED battery free flashlight. Without doubt
and hesitation it is FANTASTIC.
I already have two hand wind flashlights - they are big, difficult to
manage and the light fades almost straight away... terrible things.
Miles flashlights on the other hand is very different. Here are my
thoughts.
1. It is about half the size of a normal family flashlight.
2. Weight is hard to believe, it's sooo light, just a few ounces.
3. I am getting one to keep in each of the glove compartments of our
cars. Living in the country we need a good flashlight if we breakdown in
the pitch black nights.
4. This is by far the best flashlight I have seen for those who go
camping or hiking overnight.
5. If you travel and stay in various hotels/motels then this flashlight
would be ideal as it saves having to work out how lamps and lights work
in the dark.
6. A huge advantage is the ergonomic design, you can hold it very
comfortably in your hand while at the same time add on a couple of extra
pumps.
7. The light NEVER fades, it is always bright or just stops, only a few
pumps bring it back for a few minutes.
8. It is a LED light so the kids can pretend they are playing CSI:) (Ooops
now you know I did).
9. If you have kids that travel away from home to camps etc then this
would be something they can easily pack and I am sure they will use it.
10. The only disadvantage I have found is that I now have to fight to
use it as everyone else has fallen in love with it and wants to keep
using it :)
