I was lucky enough to be sent a Eco Lantern from the Trevor Baylis range of Eco products, of course Trevor is one of our shed judges for this years Shed of the Year, so hopefully we can get one to give away to the lucky shed winner.

I have mentioned my exploits at getting Mrs UW’s summerhouse lite up, but was looking for something else, and those nice people over at tcl products the people who manufacture trev’s stuff, kindly send me one to try out, so there are some benefits running the worlds sheddiest website.

anyway my mini review.. trying not to be biased..

It was like Shedmas all over again, could not wait to open the lamp and crank it up, ok I need to get a life but gadgets in boxes make me happy.

The product has trevor’s signature on it and his mug on the box, alas without his trademark pipe, and the now standard in these products the wonderful wind up crank at the bottom, I had to wind it up for about 3 minutes beforehand, but then they say it will give you 20mins of light for 1 mins winding.

Its not going to light up your whole shed, but as a standby and for reading in the shed, I think it will be an great addition to the lighting arsenal.

It has 5 X LED lights with standby glow light

if you can’t be bother to wind it up then it comes with a 12v in car charger as well, so useful for camping and out and about if your need some quick lighting, maybe when theres a power cut.

also its looks a bit like a crystal ball, so you can always earn some cash telling fortunes from your shed.

It’s great to see these windup products coming out and its all thanks to one man and his idea of a wind up radio..
