I got some LED flashlights at a flea market in KY for $3.oo each
that do not use batteries. There's a magnet in it that generates
the
power to light it up. They had different sizes. Light was pretty
bright - would work for emergencies.

We have a couple of the so-called Shake Lights, One was big, $9 and
is
almost worthless. Shake it hard and long enough and you can see the
LED if you hold it at the right angle. The other is dinky, cost $2
at
a Chinaman's We-Got-It-All flea market stand, and is bright
enoughlong
enough to actually use.

There's a Dollar Store that sells those shake "Torches", they call
them, for $1.00. They worked so well, I went back and bought 25 to
give to friends. Laying flat in the door pocket of the tow vehicle,
from the starting and stopping, it stays charged and ready to use.
It's not a super bright light, but is enough to see things within a
few feet. Beats dead batteries!!
