power outage light

[Tara81]

Does anyone have any recommendations for a power outage light, that lights up the entire room automatically during a power outage?

Recently, the power went out overnight, and my cockatiel got scared in the complete dark. I turned on a flash light for her, but I am worried this might happen again and I might not wake up. Normally, she has the kitchen sink light on all night. (My living room and kitchen are one big room, she sleeps in the living room) A night light is not enough light for her during the night.

I have the same problem, we're prone to blizzards here...
I wonder if you can use a small genarator

They have flashlights that plug into the wall and will turn on as soon as power is removed. I have a couple across the house. I point them upwards on the outlet so the light goes to the ceiling and is dispersed. I think mine are Energizer brand.

I have the GE One Bulb, which is a standard lightbulb that recharges while the power is on and can be used in regular light fixtures during an outage. I believe it can also be battery powered. You can set it to turn on automatically when the power goes out. It works really well, I've actually gifted them to a bunch of family members!

This flat one isn't as bright as the others we have, but there's no difference in brightness between the regular nightlight mode and power failure mode so it might be what you're looking for.



But these Eco-i-lites are our favorites for the rest of the house. We use them for everything! They're handheld flashlights that rest in their plug-in base. They're easy to grab, stand upright on their ends & you can turn them in their base to direct the nightlight where you want it. They are a bit pricey online, but my mom got a great deal at Costco years ago & we split a pack. That was about 10 years ago & 2 of my three still work (though the nightlight finally died in one.)



We also have a few of these. They plug directly into the wall & the prongs fold flat if you need to use it as a flashlight. The prongs are a little flimsy so I'm not sure how well they'll hold up. This is our first year with these.

We had these and I loved them but ours both decided to stop charging and working at the same time.
The actual
Light bulbs that self charge sound pretty interesting.
