Here is another ultra-capacitor flashlight, apparently from the firm that
created the energy storage technology.
Lightning Flashlights
or

The light is variable, and produced 200 lumen on high beam, but only runs at
that capactiy for 25 minutes, then goes
Saw this flashlight http://flashlightnews.org/story1762.shtml on the Goat
blog, Locklear would you please get one and write a review for us?

Nico,
That post was the most interesting to ever appear on OT ( IMHO ).
However, I always thought the problem with the ultra-capacitors was
size, and that the unit would never fit
into the housing of a flashlight.
Let's hope it works and lets hope somebody builds a headlamp.
On a related
implosion?

Advantages to Super Capacitors:
1. Can be used and recharged millions of time.
2.Low impedance - enhances load handling when put in paralleled
with a battery.
( I think this means a flashlight could be designed to run
longer with less batteries )
3.Re-charge in seconds.
4.
Ultracapacitors are what's used in the shake and shine flashlights.
Remember those? Maybe not so ultra - but a capacitor, neverthesless
