Bought 1 for our business out in the country that keeps losing power. Worked great in the main office. Not super bright but then it is little LEDS and not an industrial version you would find in a corporate office. Gives the light I need so I am not stumbling around. Plan on buying 2 more for the back room. I like the fact that they state several hours as oppose to just 90 minutes like a few others I read about. Wont really know the extended duration since I just bought it but for the price and what I saw in its features, ie, one or two lights, low or high beam, can manually turn off; I think its a pretty good price. And I didn't notice any humming that someone else complained about.

I'm glad I bought two of these for our home. They are still working and going strong. We just had a small power outage here a moment ago and was astounded by how bright they are after all these years. These are a smart purchase to have for your home. Highly recommend.

When you lose power, this is the thing to have. Comes on when the power goes off and lights the way. At 78 with limited vision (I only have one eye due to carotid problems) this is the perfect device in a darkened house

If this light continues to work as it has so far I will boost my rating to 5 stars but I think it premature - this is an emergency light so it needs to prove itself durable and reliable over time to earn 5 stars. I tested the light when it first arrived by leaving one of the two lights on for close to 48 hours and it was fine. One light can already light up a big room and two lights together are super bright. I will test it again in several months and see if the battery still lasts for 48 hours with one light on continuously if so, then I will likely buy a second one as an emergency light for our cottage.

This is truly an amazing light for power outages and emergencies. I did a considerable amount of research prior to purchasing this light. This light is by far the longest lasting light available that I could find. 95% of lights that I've seen for emergencies last at best a couple of hours during a power outage. This light will last a full 40 hours with one light lit, or if you choose to have both lights lit it will last 20 hours. That is an incredible amount of time. My power does not go out very often, although there have been times when it has gone out up to 4 to 5 days. It is very reassuring to know that a light will last this long. There is a newer Ideal Security model available, it is said to be brighter, although the length of time it lasts during an outage is considerably less. This light is quite bright, more than sufficient enough to see around the areas in your dark house where you are walking. I would much prefer a light like this one that is not quite as bright, and will last up to 40 hours, versus a brighter light that will be dead in a couple of hours during a power outage. The longevity of this emergency blackout light is thanks to a much larger battery than competitors. Each of the two lights has six LED bulbs. I actually purchased two of these units and have them in different areas of my house. Highly recommended.

The first one is easy to use and seems to be working as per the instructions. The second one I ordered was working fine for a while then came on unexpectedly out of the blue even though I had it on the same settings as the first one. I had to change both settings on the second one to the "off" positions in order for the second one to stop coming on and defeating the whole purpose of it only coming on just when there is a power outage. I will contact the company regarding this issue to make sure I am not doing something wrong.

This light is excellent for emergency power backup.As soon as the power goes off, the light turns on.

This emergency light is a great value. I haven't had to test the battery life yet, but the option to run 1 or 2 lamps and get up to 48 hr of light is a great idea. The lamps are adequately bright - enough to let you navigate a large room. Installation and setup is dead easy; just plug in and flip a switch. These lights are designed to be mounted up high because there is lots of range of motion of the lamps downward, but not much to get them shining horizontally. They do pivot over a wide range of angles and there is a way to extend the range a bit.

Super long battery life. Previous unit with same 6 volt battery type but Incandescent light heads would have a battery life of 30 min.-not very helpful for an extended power outage. Note not rated by CSA or UL so probably can not be used in a public building.

I've bought three of these. The first one I bought it from Home Depot and it's been working great since. So I bought a set of two from Amazon. They worked great at the start but now both have dim lights. They are no longer bright. Not sure if it's the battery or just the LEDs. Amazon return date has expired and shipping back to the company would probably be more expensive than buying new ones. Not happy.
