Very cool collection. I went thru every country. A very valuable and useful collection just from the standpoint of the history and technology.

I've had a few over the years (I still have a hand cranked model bought at Eddie Bauer 7 or 8 years ago) but other than that I didn't know much about them. I thought it was very interesting.

I wonder if the technology has changed much over the years. I'm sure there's been refinements but the basic technology seems to be the same.

I cannot honestly say over zealous cranking won't generate more than the stated 0.1amps. But many LED 'bulb' replacements factor in the typical alkaline battery, which peaks at about 2 amps (according to Pololu-blog of understanding batteries).

Looks like the 432 is taylored to your light. Good site btw.
