This [solar-powered flashlight](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sodiumfrostglow-flashlight) is designed to help out victims of natural disasters by providing a battery-free flashlight that also doubles as a radio. The radio function of the Angler Flashlight helps to keep victims in touch with the outside world and also provides a calming effect.
