Energizer Auto-On LED Flashlights Rechargeable (6-Pack) for Home Power Failure, Plug in LED Flashlight for Power Outage, Night Light, Hurricane Preparedness

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.

Really great item you should have in preparation for power outages. I bought these because we had a power outage and I realized how unprepared I was. It’s really nice with these as you just keep them plugged in strategic places that you know you’ll need to access if you ever had a power outage. Then you leave them alone and once you have a power outage to kick on without you doing anything so it’s a really good idea to buy a few packs of these and place them where your emergency supplies are. I like to think of my house as an airplane so I have flashlights leading to strategic places that the family may need. They’re also so inexpensive for so many of them. It’s not that big of a deal to keep them around plugged in.

Great Value and they work well. good for power outage. very happy with them

Highly recommend! This is my second order of these to add more to my own home and give a couple out as gifts. These lights are great! Place them in each room or at least the main rooms you are frequently in. They should be plugged into a power source that is exposed so when the power goes out it provides the most light possible. While there is power to the light it is off and charging but as soon as the power goes off it turns on automatically providing light in the room it is plugged in. Added tip, if possible, situate the flashlight to point towards the ceiling. The light will reflect off the ceiling magnifying the amount of light it provides. If you have trip hazards such as a change in floor levels or staircase I would highly recommend putting one at each of those. If the power outage catches you off guard you will not have to stumble around in the dark looking for a light source. Simply walk to the nearest plugged in unit and unplug it to have a fully charged flashlight. My first units I put in the main bedroom, living room, kitchen, the bottom of the stairs to the basement, and top of the stairs to the second floor. This setup insured I was never too far away from a light source no matter where I was in the house and if I was on the stairs I could navigate them safely. With these additional units I will place them in more bedrooms on the main floor and then spread the rest out evenly in the basement and second floor. Once the power comes back on remember to return the unit back to the same plug so that you know where you need to go the next time you need it.I have not had a power outage that outlasted these flashlights but I also do not use these as my main flashlights. I have these to provide me with emergency lighting during the first few minutes of a power outage. I rarely unplug them but instead leave them in place lighting my house so I can retrieve lanterns, candles, flashlights if I need them.

I really like these emergency lights, they allow you to use the top outlet when they are plugged in charging. They work great, I had the opportunity to use them not long after purchasing them. We had a very bad wind/snow storm and lost our power and used these to find candles, other lanterns and flashlights.They did last around four hours as advertised, the only thing I was disappointed about was the fact that they did not come one when the lights went out? I placed these around the house so that they would make a pathway to see plus you really needed to know where they were originally plugged in.I kept a few and gave a few to family members so they could have at least one for their bedrooms. They made nice gifts.
