Why it beats a flashlight in a drawer
Already charged when it matters
The battery fills during normal use, so it's ready when the lights go out — no drawer to remember, no dead batteries.
Six hours after an outage
An outage sensor keeps the bulb lit for up to six hours once house power disappears.
Comes out as a lantern
A hook at the top hangs it in a tent, a closet, or a stairwell once you unscrew it.
12 W doing a 100 W job
A 12 W LED as bright as a 100 W halogen, rated for 50,000 hours — over five years of evenings.
How it works
Nothing to set up. It's a bulb.
- 1
Screw it in
Any standard socket — a lamp, a ceiling fixture, a porch light.
- 2
Use it normally
It lights from house power and charges its internal battery while it does.
- 3
Lose power
The outage sensor keeps it lit. Leave it in the fixture, or unscrew it and hang it by its hook.
Where people put them
Hallway, garage, basement stairs, the lamp in the guest room nobody uses.

One bulb isn't a plan
An outage takes the whole house. Most people put one in the hallway, one in the kitchen, and one in the basement.
Questions
Yes. It draws its charge from the same current that lights it, so it needs to be in a socket that's actually on. A bulb left switched off for months will be flat when you need it.
