These torches are rubbish! Also sold as the Eco Hand Crank Torch this is not what it seems. It is just a battery powered torch! The dynamo does not charge the batteries. Once they drain the torch is near useless. I have had two fail this way. See: http://www.instructables.com/id/Ebay-fake-10-leds-dynamo-torch%3A-make-it-a-real-one/ This is not a declarable torch!

Mine must be a newer model as it contains 10 led lights and has 3 batteries inside the device. (do not dismantle. the device is behind held together by the casing, once opend cannot close) I have just purchised 2 of these (1 for dismantaling to see how it works) i can conferm that there are batteries stored in the device but are recharged by the crank.
