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

These Auto-On LED rechargeable flashlights seriously impressed me during our last power outage. Automatic Turn-On – They lit up the second the power went out. Honestly, that’s how I realized we lost power. No fumbling in the dark. Bright & Versatile – Bright enough to use as a handheld flashlight or just leave plugged into outlets around the house for emergency room lighting. Always Ready – They charge while plugged in, so they’re constantly ready to auto-activate during an outage. Great Emergency Backup – Simple, reliable, and one less thing to scramble for when the lights go out. Such a smart little safety upgrade. Definitely one of those “glad I had it when I needed it” items.

We’ve been having frequent power surges and more than the usual power outages recently, so these were ideal for me. I live alone and placed them in my covered outdoor garage and bedroom, and I also shared some with my elderly mom who lives separately. The light is bright and gives a real sense of comfort in the darkness. I especially love that they are portable, so they can be moved wherever they are needed. Very practical and reassuring to have on hand.

so far these have been working well. They make good light and stay charged even if not plugged in all the time

When switched to the ON position, the light will go out when you plug it in the wall, and turn on when you remove it from the wall, or when the power goes out. The power switch must be in the ON position for this to happen, and it's nice that this is selectable. The light output is decent enough for finding your way around a dark house, or even out in the yard, visibility and to be seen while walking a dog, things like that. The 40 lumen rating seems about right. It should be noted that this is much dimmer than emergency lighting required in public spaces. I do appreciate that it's not a disgusting ghastly color of light. that said, it does have bluish spots and yellowish halos, common to inexpensive LED lighting, especially when focused with a lens or reflector. In this flashlight, the reflector actually is used for beam control. The beam itself is fairly tight given it's low light output, casting about a 2-foot diameter spot from roughly 10 feet away. The product listing and details specify a lithium battery (or lithium ion, depending where you look), which this DOES NOT HAVE. Please see the pictures I've attached of nickel metal hydride battery inside, clearly labeled: "Ni-MH" IN THIS USE CASE, THAT'S ACTUALLY A BETTER CHOICE, because nickel metal hydride batteries are completely fine with being kept at full charge, such as this will be, when constantly left in the power outlet, presumably charging all the while. By contrast, lithium-ion batteries (aside from the much less common LiFePO4 chemistry) are very unhappy being kept fully charged. Doing that will reduce their lifespan significantly. So it's a good choice not to use those here! However, it is misrepresented in the description and the included battery is unnecessarily small, a single AAA size, labeled as 700 mAh. It will have less then half the run time as it could with a AA size, generally 2000 mAh for a cheap one, which these flashlights could have easily been designed to fit. Mislabeling the battery chemistry and skimping on its size is really a disappointing showing coming from a major battery brand! That is why minus one star. If they had put in two AA 2,000 mAh batteries and change to nothing else, they would have earned five stars from me. I have not yet tested the runtime. Delightfully, though, this is only held together with 4 Phillips screws, with another two holding down the circuit board. With a soldering iron and a little bit of skill in it's use, the included battery rather easily could be replaced at its end of life, or upgraded any time with a tabbed nickel metal hydride replacement battery. To fit a larger AA replacement battery, some additional hacking would be necessary, due to the position of the circuit board and other plastic features inside the housing. I'm not fully sure if there's quite enough space even then. The design is reasonable for holding in the hand, they're very lightweight, partially owing to the tiny battery, and the plug prongs are fully retractable into the handle so they don't have to be in the way when unneeded. Some other reviews mention it feels cheaply made, but the plastic is quite stiff, maybe ABS or polycarbonate? And although hollow (and cheaply hollow sounding) I think given it's minimal heft it won't break from an occasional drop or from normal use.

They work very well! Bright light and it reaches far.

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.

These lights are very convenient and make a great flashlight when necessary. I have given away a set as gifts to help keep others prepared.

Very handy. I have them in several rooms. If we lose power they will be very easy to find. The light is bright. They are lightweight and fit into a pocket.

Que son muy buenas y ayudan bastante

Útil y práctico. Cuando se va la luz siempre están listas. Las deje conectadas y de hecho No hubo incremento en el recibo de luz. Material ligero y duradero

توقعته أكبر حجماً طلع صغير للطوارئ جيد

Works well! Long last battery, light enough.

efficace, a la perte d électricité, si branché a la prise électrique, elle s allume immédiatement, tres pratique, et au besoin, elle sert de lampe de poche avec un bon éclairage. j en ai acheté 3 a dates, une belle idée cadeau en plus d en avoir une chez moi. tres satisfait.
