Emergency Home Lighting When Power Fails

[101RRS]

I have been looking for a light that I can plug into a standard home power point that comes on when there is a power failure.

These Click Nightguard lights seem to fit the requirement Click Nightguard Mini Rechargeable Nightlight - Bunnings Australia

I dont need the motion sensor function, just need a light that comes on when the power goes off - also dont want to do any wiring - just plug in and go.

Unfortunately, the Click Nightguard does not get very good reviews - the motion sensor function is poor but I dont need this. The other problem is the charging mechanism burns out after a short time which is not good.

So does anyone know of another product that simply plugs into a standard 3 pin household socket and comes on when power goes off. As I said not interested in anything that requires wiring in etc.

Thanks

How often do you think you'll need it, easier just to keep a few torches handy.

You could use emergency lighting as used in commercial premises down to kids lamps that come on when the room goes dark

I usually have my iPhone on me or close, or have an iPad handy.

These make for great emergency lighting when needed.

I have an Aldi trouble light that sits in a charger cradle, if you leave it turned on when charge is present it does not illuminate but when the charger cradle is powered off it comes on automatically. I haven't seen them at Aldi for a few years but maybe something that is a possibility. I can't see whether this one has the smarts to come on automatically Narva |

you. could do something with an emergency exit light.

not an attractive item but they last for donkeys years.

not cheap as far as I know but I doubt you could do better

Are these available off the shelf with a standard plug fitted?

available off shelf , but instead of wiring it into your lighting circuit you could wire a 3 pin plug into it instead.

I can wire in a lead and 3 pin plug into an appliance that is designed for fixed wiring, or a licensed electrician can?
