A little while back I gave you my top five festival gadgets and gizmos. Obviously time is a factor otherwise I would have done a top 20. So, every now and again something will pop up on the site that wasn't included, but will make a great festival accessory. We're gonna keep em' coming until festival season is officially over.

Stereotypically, whenever you go camping you're supposed to make a fire. Screw that. Second to a fire is always a battery operated light. When your batteries die out what are you meant to do? There's no chance of finding batteries in the midst of the night. The next option is a wind-up LED light complete with efficient winding mechanism.

It uses LED's so you won't have to change any bulbs. It also has two safety/night lights and if fully wound up, will last for 48 hours. Fully wound using the ambient light setting, will last four hours. You won't waste too much energy winding this eco-friendly lamp either, as one minute of winding will give you 30 minutes of light - not bad.

However, it's also good to know that it comes with a 12v in-car charger. So if perhaps you're feeling a bit really *really* lazy, you can use this method as back-up (providing you actually brought a car). So all-in-all this sounds like a fantastic festival accessory.

Get one from I want one of those for £19.95
