..Anyone use one of these? I just got one and it's pretty neat. It has a crank and generator which doesn't take too much effort to have good light from either a 7 LED cluster (with a dimmer switch!) or a single LED "reading" light.

Only downside is it's made in China.. grr.. But the lantern is rugged as all get-out, constructed of thick materials and feels solid.
For my needs, it's nice to have long light without battery charging. This would be right handy in a power failure or other emergency, too.
