Trevor Baylis Brands Outdoors Design Excellence.
From the great Trevor Baylis of clockwork Radio invention fame!

I last year bought one of the Trevor Baylis design of outdoor tent lanterns to try out-more because I am a huge Trevor Baylis fan, liking greatly the original clockwork design he re-engineered so brilliantly, rather than for any other reason! When, for instance, I was lying in agony after damaging my back a good few years back ago, due to an accident at work, leaving me with a few prolapsed discs, and one seriously so; it was one of my most personal all-time heroes, Trevor himself, that cheered me up in my personal gloom! I had written to him, to tell him that it was his book that I was going to be taking into hospital with me for my then upcoming prolapsed-crushed-disc operation. It was his inspirational life autobiography that was my chosen piece of personal mind pain relief, to try to distract me, as a form of escape, from the sheer agony I was then in. I never expected him to then go on to show me immense kindness of a lovely handwritten letter reply! Let alone a wish for a full recovery to health and wellness, nor an invitation to phone him up at his home, to talk about my invention ideas and aspirations! It is the outstanding mark of this greatly generous and genuinely warm hearted man, I feel, that he remains a greatly approachable and genuine likable caring individual, through all of his extensive fame and fortune, as some others just do not!He will always be one of my personal heroes for this reason.

I got my Trevor Baylis outdoors Eco Lantern from Iwoot here

There are more great Trevor Baylis wind up technology products in the pipeline and some of those have outdoors applications too, like the new little innovative wind up media player!

You can check them all out here at the manufacturers website at TCL, based in Hove. They have the honour and distinction of being the company to be granted the endorsement by Trevor Baylis himself of manufacturing and distributing a full range of wind-up products under the Baylis brand. http://tclproducts.co.uk/ or just their tent lantern

http://tclproducts.co.uk/ba7025.html

I decided that I had to write a customer review myself, that IWOOT then kindly added to their site, to supplement their own tent lantern product description there. As I felt they had missed out even mentioning the important fact that it was in fact a Trevor Baylis brand product. IWOOT did not seem to really even realise that fact, when I emailed them first off. Also the lantern is really a little bit too heavy for long distance backpacking useage I felt as well at about 406 grammes. I requested the manufacturer to possibly look into making in future a more lightweight design one that could be more reasonably easily trail carried into wilderness areas by lightweight backpackers or campers; as I felt it would go on to possibly become a great market for them in the future, just the whole entire world over.
