Has anyone tried this light?

Solar powered, supercapacitors (no batteries). They claim 60 Farad (!) at 4.6 Volts.

I haven't seen this light reviewed in CPF yet.

Thanks,

Doesn't look very nice to me. They claim a 1 hr charge from the sun. The size of that solar cell is relatively small, I'd say under 1 watt. So you've only got around 1 watt hour in theory. Plus if indeed it is a "1 watt LED" and it is being driven at 1 watt for 50 lumens, they're using old LED technology.
