I noticed on the write up you did on the Chinavasion solar flashlight that you mentioned the Hybrid Solar LIte is not really an LED light. I wanted to correct you on that. It is actually a very high powered single LED that is the equivalent of 16 standard LED's (like the 10 Chinavasion has in thiers). I also know it is not possible for a light to run 50,000 hours on a single charge. Ours runs 10 hours (storing the charge for 3 years) and that is because we put the best parts in our lights - they cost more for us to build, but we want to produce quality and reliability. I think the 50K hours is most likely referring to the lifetime of the LED's burn time. Ours are rated at over 100,000 hours which is more common. Just wanted to let you know that information. Thanks again! I just read your review of the Hybrid Solar Lite – thank you for that!
