Energizer Weatheready Rechargeable Compact Handheld Light, Plug-in LED Emergency Flashlight, Automatic Turn-On, Built-in Battery Included, 3 Count

The Energizer Weatheready Rechargeable LED Flashlight is a fantastic addition to my emergency supplies! It’s reliable, easy to use, and the convenient plug-in design makes recharging simple. I love that it comes in a pack of three, so I can keep one in different areas of the house. The light is bright and powerful, perfect for power outages or hurricane preparedness. It’s lightweight yet durable, and the fact that it stays charged for a long time is a huge bonus. Highly recommend this for anyone building a survival kit or looking for a dependable flashlight!

I bought this pack of 3Gave one to my dadAnd such a great product for a place where there’s no electricity/ outages all the time / emergency / I placed one on hallway and I tried it the lights were bright and very handy.I placed mine in my apartment hallway and kept as a reserve - I will need to buy more of those for others as gifts.Energizer Weatheready Rechargeable Compact Handheld Light helps you prepare for power outages with a rechargeable plug-in design. Designed for emergency situations, this rechargeable LED light features a built-in rechargeable battery and plugs into the wall so it's always charged and ready to help keep your family safe. This emergency flashlight is up to 4x brighter than standard LED technology and illuminates objects up to 30 meters away to give you the brightness you need when the lights go out. A retractable AC plug goes directly into any standard electrical outlet and folds out of the way while you use this Energizer flashlight. It charges overnight to provide 3 hours of runtime, and it has a red LED charging indicator that lights up to show you when this flashlight is charging. Leave the switch in the on position while it charges so the compact flashlight turns on automatically when the power goes out, making it easy to find and convert into a handheld flashlight. No batteries to replace, always ready to shine.

I got these lights which come on immediately when the power goes out because you never know when there might be a temporary power outage. I have one in the kitchen area, one in the garage one in each bedroom and one in each bathroom. The main thing you need to remember is to turn the light on before plugging it into the wall outlet so if the power goes off the light will come on automatically. If I need to use a flashlight I have one on hand at any time and they last for several years. I don’t remember when I bought the original lights like these but it was over seven years ago and I have used them during several power outages including the Uri ice storm when power was off for several days. I was able to recharge these lights during the day with my generator so they could be used again at night. They are convenient and work well so I will keep buying them. It seems like they have a certain lifespan because several of the original lights I bought years ago all failed within a couple weeks so buying the multi pack worked out for me to replace the set.

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.

Ever need a flashlight and you just can't find one even though you know you have a bunch of them? These flashlight eliminate that problem because they remain plugged in when not in use. I placed them around the house in different rooms, and they have come in handy on many occasions. the light is bright, but its not LED bright or as focused. However, for general use, they're great. They are small enough so they don't cover both outlets either.

A great convenience-- they fit well in most pockets. Simple to re-charge. Have purchased several times, including for gifts. (If you need super bright light, shop for more powerful flashlight. But these are fine for general use.)
