Among products that incorporated eneloop rechargeable batteries are ENELOOPE Bike, Eneloop KAIRO and Eneloop solar light to name a few.The ENL-Y1S is a multiple use lamp that can be used as an interior light for daily living as well as a flashlight in case of an emergency. This product utilizes a contact-less charging system bearing no metallic contact on its body resulting in a smooth exterior appearance. The ENL-Y1S as an interior light feature two modes to choose from Clear Mode (high) / Fade Mode (low). It can also be used as a healing light with a blue lamp for places such as bed side with a healing mode (continuous) or a flicker mode (flickering). The ENL-Y1S automatically turns into a flashlight when it is picked up and tilted 90 degrees or more because of its built-in accelerator sensor.
