Zero Hour XS lights the way with new torch-charger hybrid

A flashlight that packs a little more punch - especially when it comes to powering your gadgets

The humble torch may have fallen out of favour due to your smartphone taking over yet another function, but what happens if your phone’s battery fails right when you need it? Eh? Step up, Zero Hour XS Flashlight. This clever device will not only light your way but it will also give your phone that bit of extra power too. It doubles as a portable charger for small electronics, including tablets, smartphones and music players, should you find yourself with a music emergency, you can also take advantage of the battery inside the device, accessed over USB. On the torch side of things, there’s a bright LED to shed some light on the matter.
