Real shake light vs Nitecore Tube.
Added 2019-02-20 04:36:30 +0000 UTCThis video sounds a bit boomy because of where I filmed it, and I was trying to be quiet as it was late at night and my neighbours were probably in bed. I can hear their voices, so I'm sure they can hear mine.

This is a real shake-style torch (probably not an original) with more realistic circuitry than the fake one had.

Oh god. What a stupid thing. Mine has a tiny cap. That's all.
2019-03-20 03:52:19 +0000 UTCFor a career masturbator, that shake-torch could be hacked into a cool training aid - add a bluetooth module and write an app (iJerk) that links to Apple's fitness tracker

2019-02-20 17:42:24 +0000 UTCCave divers love the shake lights. You don't need much light when it's absolutely pitch black.

2019-02-20 16:07:43 +0000 UTCMy shake light has a coin sized cap so no black tape to hide the cap. Say what is a good place to get authentic Nightcore?

2019-02-20 08:00:37 +0000 UTCLike wind-up radios, they are probably best suited to areas where there is a lack of other power sources, such as African villages and other remote areas.

2019-02-20 06:38:45 +0000 UTCI couldn't hear you at all, might be useful to do a bit of audio post-processing on this one.

2019-02-20 05:30:01 +0000 UTCThe shake light is good for survival situations but I never really understood them. They seem to be a solution looking for a problem.
