How to Recharge a Glow in the Dark Flashlight

Glow in the Dark flashlights are a great thing to have on hand when the power goes out and you need to find your way around. Typically a glow in the dark flashlight can last a few hours before it needs to be recharged which should give you enough time to find candles or other lighting to use until your power comes back on. If you've recently used your flashlight and need to change it back up here are some ways to recharge a glow in the dark flashlight.

Things You'll Need

Glow in the Dark Flashlight
Lamp
Window

Instructions

- 1
  Keep the flashlight in a window sill where it can get tons of bright sunlight. Not only will the flashlight stay charged, but you'll also know where it is in case of an emergency.
- 2
  Keep the flashlight next to a desk lamp or other light that you turn on daily and leave on for long periods of time. Much like the window, your flashlight will stay charged and accessible.
- 3
  Leave the flashlight in the back window of your car for a day. In your back window the flashlight can charge up while you're out running errands. If the sun is particularly bright be sure to check on the flashlight every few hours and make sure it's not melting in the heat.
- 4
  Take the flashlight on a picnic. If you have an outdoor activity planned such as a picnic or park trip take the flashlight along and allow it to recharge in the sun while you enjoy the weather.
- 5
  Replace the batteries. While most glow in the dark flashlights can recharge in the sun some take regular batteries as well. If you don't have time to let the flashlight sit in the sun for a few hours then consider just switching out the batteries.
