Energizer LED Rechargeable Plug-in Flashlights, Weatheready Emergency Flashlight for Hurricane Supplies and Survival Kits, Flash Light with Convenient Plug-in Design,White, 6 count (Pack of 1)

I bought these to ensure that we have some type of emergency lighting in the event of power outages. I decided to try these out after having so many failures with the rechargeable LED bulbs that we had placed throughout our house. Those bulbs seem to be short lived, with either the battery not holding charge or the bulb itself going bad. We've also had a number of instances where the bulbs do not light up when power is out.These little flashlights are actually smaller than I envisioned, which makes me happy. They plug into the outlet and as long as you ensure that the switch is in the 'ON' position, they will light up when the power goes out. You can also grab one and use it to find your way around in the dark; since it is already lit up it makes it very easy to find.While the 40-lumen output is not super-bright, it is more than enough to light up a room sufficiently to see your way around in the dark and makes it very easy, safe, and convenient to find your emergency supplies, which for us include our larger and brighter flashlights, lanterns, and power banks. These say they'll last around three hours, which is very good. I placed these around the house in key areas where it will be good to have some light, like stairways, hallways outside bedrooms, living room, garage, etc.One of the best things (for me) about these is that they do not have a night light feature. I just want them to stay plugged in and only provide light if the power goes out. It's hard to find these without the night light, so these are great.After buying an initial six-pack, I liked them enough to buy an additional pack and I believe I now have nine of these around our house. I'll probably give the other three to family.The only slight negatives I can think of is that they have a very bright red light on the front that is on all the time whenever they're plugged in and have power. You can see it a mile away, which may annoy some people. I would have preferred it be less bright but can live with it. The only other thing is that one out of the 12 lights I got the case was slightly separating on the lower-right side, as in I could pull the front and back pieces open slightly. At first, I thought that maybe the screen boss inside was broken but found that the screw simply was not tightened. Upon tightening that screw, the case is completely secure. Maybe someone just missed a step during assembly, but glad it was just that and not actually broken.All things considered, I am very happy with this product. Time will tell if the batteries hold up over the years.Also, I've checked every one of these over the past few days and none of them got hot, or even warm at all. I was concerned because one reviewer stated that all of his melted but also indicated that he was using them in an ambulance? Wondering if the inverter in the vehicle could have been the cause or maybe these just don't react the same to it verses regular AC utility power. At any rate, no problems at all with ours thus far.

While the flashlight format is convenient, my primary reason for purchasing these lights is for safety. I was especially concerned about power outages in the bathroom during showers, which could leave someone in complete darkness and at risk of falls and injuries. At just over $7 each, the peace of mind these lights offer is well worth the cost, especially when considering the potential expense and consequences of a bathroom fall.A six-pack of these lights is sufficient for covering key areas like bathrooms, bedrooms, and kitchens in a small home. They offer excellent value and have very good build quality. The red indicator light is perfectly balanced—noticeable without being too bright. The lights are incredibly user-friendly, requiring no instructions: switch on to use as a flashlight, plug into an outlet to turn the light off, and unplug to turn it back on. The switch on the front allows you to turn off the light when it's unplugged and used as a flashlight. For use as a power failure light, simply leave it in the on position and plugged in.I appreciate that this model does not include a night light feature, as I don't find that necessary. These lights are replacing similar ones that lasted 21 years, and I anticipate these will last at least 7 to 10 years.Addressing a concern raised by an earlier commenter about units overheating, these Eveready power failure lights include a built-in fuse as a safety measure to prevent overloads. I tested all six devices by charging them for 12 hours and then leaving them on as flashlights for an hour. They did not get warm at any point during charging or use. I believe the advertised 3-hour runtime is accurate.I highly recommend considering these power failure lights to protect yourself and your family. They don’t take up both power outlets like some other models. When the power goes out, you'll be glad you purchased them.

I'm not sure I would use these as my main flashlight because they aren't particularly bright, but, for the price, it's a great way to have backup lighting around your house.If you plug them in and turn them on, they won't light up until they don't have power, so they charge when the power is on and come on automatically if the power goes out, so you don't have to stumble around to find your phone or a flashlight.If you know any older people who live alone, buy them a set of these now. If they ever lose power, they will call and thank you for them, I promise.

Tried all of them, and they all work. Turn light on, plug in and it goes off. Power goes out, and they turn on, unplug them, and they turn on. Great idea, great product, great value. I gave 3 to my mom so she can find her way if our power goes out. Great job Energizer!
