Had a delightful Mini Cree USB rechargeable torch for Christmas. However, no instructions on how long to charge when the light begins to dim.
An Internet search is no help either on this point. Can anyone advise me please?

That’s an interesting question: I have all sorts of USB based devices and I’ve never seen a charge time for any of them.

I would imagine overnight should do the job. It’s an LED based light, so it’s pretty low power.

All I ask is a wide screen and a projector to light her by...

Hi Maurice, I have a USB LED light .as a bed side light that I use for reading, it is charged by plugging it into a bog standard USB charger and it stops charging when it is fully charged. I hope this helps.

Thank you, Clive, you say it stops charging when fully charged, but how long does it take?
Or, as Steve says, leave it overnight.

Hi Maurice, I usually leave mine over night, but I think it only takes a couple of hours.

I believe that link shows the battery to be 600mAhr so if you know what current you can draw from an USB port a minimum time could be worked out.

Problem now solved.
Saw the giver today, my daughter, who has two of these torches.
The answer is simple.
When plugged into an USB socket the push-button on/off switch will glow red when in need of a charge. Green when fully charged.
