With only one moving part,
NightStar transforms simple motion into light. When gently shaken, a
high-strength rare earth magnet passes smoothly through a wire coil,
efficiently generating electrical energy. A heavy duty capacitor, which can be
recharged repeatedly, stores the energy and delivers power to a super-bright
white light LED.
Thirty seconds of shaking provides more than 20
minutes of light. In total darkness, NightStar will illuminate a 12-foot
diameter area at 50 feet. NightStar's state-of-the-art components are contained
within a rugged, waterproof housing insuring operation even in the most severe
conditions.
The rare earth magnets used in NightStar are composed of
neodymium, iron, and boron. The magnets possess very high magnetic field
strengths and are extremely resistant to demagnetization
The capacitor
operates perfectly well in hot and cold environments, can be recharged several
hundred thousand times, and will not corrode
The solid state LED
(Light Emitting Diode) is practically unbreakable, has a rated lifetime of
ten's of thousands of hours, and will produce 350-foot candles of light at peak
brightness
The magnetic on/off switch is reliable, watertight and
non-sparking.
