30 seconds. Not minutes. Can you imagine 30 MINUTES of shaking for 5 min light? - YUK!
Also, the Nightstar uses a white LED and a magnetic reed slide switch - no hole in the case for the switch. The switch is made with the blue SrAl Glow in the dark powder, so it glows for 10 hours after charging up in light.
The Forever flashlight has a black slide switch (don't know if it's magnetic or not, doesn't GID) and has a blue LED - lousy for color rendition, which may be necessary in an emergency involving wiring/maps/etc.
