From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Whether you’re caught in a power-cut, your car’s broken down at night or you’re going on a camping holiday, a torch can always come in handy.
Now with a large choice of cost-saving renewable energy torches, there’s no need for expensive batteries. Most now come with internal dynamo designs, meaning the LEDs never run out of power as long as you can wind it up.

Verdict
At the budget end, the Dynamo Spinning Torch at £9.95 is a clever design making the most of a small space with strong lumination. Meanwhile, the Ventus Eco is a superbly powerful wind-up torch. Giving you an hour and a half’s worth of strong beam from just one minute of winding, it’s hard to match.
