Bresser solar/crank camping light/radio, with USB charging-output

The Bresser camping lantern has 6 LEDs and a small solar panel on top.
The black buttons on the front control the on/off for the light and the FM radio,
the radio channel scan (a simple "scan up" or "scan down" affair,
and the volume setting for the radio (up/down).
The light is decent enough, and the FM radio is fine, but not exactly high fidelity!
But, hey, it all works!
The crank handle folds out ready for use
At the back of the lantern is a crank handle
for extra power.
A regular smartphone/tablet USB charging cable will plug
into the USB "socket" cable that comes with the lantern.
Only downside is that you need to crank the handle to get
the lantern to charge the attached device, so it is a long,
hard job, best kept for emergency use. But it is nice to
know that you can recharge your phone if you need to!
A connection lead is provided with
a USB socket on the end
