Crank handle}}The '''Crank Light''' is a [[Tools]] item found exclusively in [[Episode 5: The Light At The End Of All Things]] in the [[Wintermute]] story.<br />
<br />
== Overview ==<br />
It is found inside the first area of the mine in [[Blackrock Foothills]] in Part 2 of the Episode. It is a portable [[Flashlight]], albeit it does not require the need of an [[Aurora]] to power it thanks to the hand crank on the side that can be used to charge the internal battery. <br />
<br />
* The battery itself lasts for around 19 seconds before it must be cranked to recharge it again, requiring frequent cranking.<br />
* The light must be cranked repeatedly to charge the battery. The faster the "crank" button is pressed, the faster the light is cranked.<br />
* It takes around 9 seconds to fully charge battery's supply by cranking it at it's fastest cranking speed.<br />
* The battery can be recharged while the light is turned on.<br />
* Objects in the environment cannot be interacted with while the light is being cranked.<br />
The item can be carried through Part 2, but is lost when playing as Mackenzie again in Part 4 of the Episode.<br />
<br />
== Trivia ==<br />
<br />
* A second light can be found later in the mine.<br />
* [[Jace]] shows no reaction to the Crank Light when it is used around her, despite her fear of the dark. The player must light Gas Lamps to proceed ahead through the mine as a result.<br />
* The Crank Light is not recharged by the Aurora or [[Glimmer Fog]], if one is out, and must still be manually cranked to recharge the battery.<br />
