This has been an ongoing source of frustration for all the people of our country, “When the Lights Go Out”, we now share meme’s and laugh about it. It is not just incompetent Eskom and angry weather we need to worry about, the World’s economy is in shambles. Who knows, what the future of Energy looks like for us? When the winds are high and the weather is weepy, we have lost a pole or two with the electricity being down for as long as three days at a time. So how then do we prepare for when the lights go out?
Today we will take a look at the various products and options available; rechargeable lanterns and globes, solar lanterns and Gas fuelled options as an alternative. Let’s get started!
The Leisure Quip USB Rechargeable Camping Lantern has a built in power bank, so you can charge your phone/tablet while using the lantern, can be used for camping, auto repairing or just an extra light during load shedding. This 220 Lumen lantern is constructed from heavy duty, high impact plastic, has a 5 Volt power input, battery capacity of 2000mAh, and an impressive 5 hour charging time for 24 hours of running time.
The bottom of this lantern neatly twists off; this is where you will find the USB cable, very clever!
EUROLUX rechargeable LED emergency light is a must have that can be used anywhere, it comes with a 475mm charging cable, charging indicator light, test button & wall mounting option. It has a sleek profile and is equipped with a rechargeable 3.7V 1.2Ah sealed lithium-ion battery, with 7 hours running time on a 24hour charge time, and a 30,000 hour lifetime.
This clever little energy saving bulb is a rechargeable LED light bulb, once charged this 6W light bulb will provide up to 4 hours light, during load shedding. These rechargeable LED light bulbs are a “must have” in the home, 4 hours will give you enough time to get the children off to bed and wrap up a few last minute things before heading off to bed.
Now this Lantern is the one that I am excited about, this one has a solar panel! When the electricity goes down for a few days, you are most certainly going to want one of these. The rechargeable solar lantern comes with a mounted dimmer switch, 8 hour running time on a 24 hour charge, 30 000 lifetime hours includes a DC socket and can be charged by 0.75W Poly Solar Panel or mobile cable.
The Rechargeable 4V 2000mAh Sealed Lead-Acid Battery has a much higher power density that lasts longer between charges. One major lead acid batter advantage is that they do not require any maintenance to ensure their performance.
