Upgrade Your Emergency Preparedness with the DalyRad Z1 Wind-Up Radio
Power cuts, storms and long days away from a plug socket are far easier to handle when you have the right kit to hand. Featuring AM/FM reception plus a 7-channel NOAA weather band, a 4000mAh (14800mWh) rechargeable battery that doubles as a power bank, solar, hand-crank and USB charging, a replaceable battery option, a 3-mode torch, an adjustable LED reading lamp with motion-sensor auto mode, an SOS alarm and a telescopic antenna, the DalyRad Z1 Wind-Up Radio makes it simple to stay informed, lit and powered when the lights go out.
Whether you're building a home emergency kit, heading off camping or hiking, keeping a backup in the car or simply preparing for winter power cuts, the DalyRad Z1 Wind-Up Radio offers several ways to recharge and several essential tools in one portable unit.
Why Choose the DalyRad Z1 Wind-Up Radio?
Unlike an ordinary portable radio that goes silent as soon as its batteries run flat, the DalyRad Z1 Wind-Up Radio can be topped up by sunlight, by hand or by USB, and it can even share its stored power with your phone. Add the torch, the motion-activated reading lamp and the SOS alarm, and one compact device covers many of the needs you're likely to face during an outage or an outdoor trip.
