MagixPro Remote Rechargeable Light Bulbs, USB & Socket Charging, 1800mAh Battery, Dimmable LED Bulb for Hardwired & Non-wired Lamps Sconces, Touch + Remote Control, Wall Switch Compatible, 2 Pack

My husband and I used these light bulbs during the aftermath of the hurricane we had this summer in Texas. Thankfully, we got them charged before our power went out. A bulb is only good for a couple of hours, so since there was just the two of us, we used them one at a time in only one lamp in our bedroom, where we holed up with a couple of battery-powered fans during the 5 days of no electricity in 90-degree heat. We are planning to recharge the bulbs once a month so we will be ready for the next loss of power. Wish the charge lasted longer, but the light is so much better than anything else we have tried. Update: it has been one year and 9 mos since we purchased these light bulbs. I charge them every month - and they still work just like they did when we first purchased them. Thank goodness we have not had an electrical outage that lasted more than a couple of hours. But if we do, we are ready — as far as our lighting goes.

These work amazing well.

I ordered the bright white ones b/c I figured if the power goes out, I want to be able to SEE! These work GREAT for that! The light output doesn't match any of my other "warm" LED color bulbs so I had to put them in the kitchen track lighting where they work great but one bulb out of the set flickers no matter where I put it. Initially, I put them in lamps that have a 4 part option. 1-Top bulb on (where I put these), 2-bottom (nightlight style) bulbs on, 3-both top & bottom on, or 4-off. What happened is these bulbs never turned off. I guess this bulb thought the power was out and kicked on the battery portion! I have 3 lamps like that & these bulbs stayed lit in all 3, even in the off position and even when unplugged. When I put this bulb in another lamp it worked normally and when I unplugged it, it didn't turn on, so I'm not sure what was up with the other ones. In regular lamps and even 3 way lamps, they're perfect. The bulb also lights up in your hand if you hold it a certain way. That's kind of a fun party trick ;-).

Fantastic lights and great for hurricanes power outages

When I received the emergency light bulbs I installed them in a table lamp. It lit up but when I unplugged the lamp to see what would happen if the power went off it didn't work. Through experimentation, I unplugged the plug from the wall outlet and toughed both prongs together and the light bulb lit. Then I took the light bulb out of the lamp and jumped the center connector with the base and the light bulb lit. I tried contacting the manufacturer through Google to no avail, then I read from a card that was included with the light bulbs and sent an email to the address. I got a reply one day later. I again described the problem I was having and did not receive a reply. A final note: the published instructions on Amazon's are very vague and ambiguous, my suggestions are do not buy this product until Amazon publishes a more detailed instruction on how to connect this product to american receptacles. Update A representative of the manufacturer contacted via email he relayed his disappointment in my frustration and promises to send free of charge new bulbs. Which I received three days later. The emergency light bulbs work as advertised. The only problem is they do not light up when the power cord is disconnected simulating a power failure. They will light up using the provided hangers. An updated review. In October of 2020 hurricane Zeta hit the SE Louisiana where I live. The Rechargeable Emergency LED Bulb 1200mAh 15W 80W worked perfectly. I had them installed in all lamps. When the poser went off, all bulbs I had installed stayed lit. They lasted approximately 6 hours. I would recommend this product to everybody needing emergency backup lighting.

The good: you can put them in a light fixture and use the remote to turn them on if the power goes out. Not as expected: Not bright enough. There’s no lumen count on them, but they are way dimmer than my 1500 lumen bulbs. I’d put these at a 30-40w incandescent equivalent. The light switch doesn’t work to turn them on/off if the power is out. You have to use the remote. Also, you often need to click the remote a couple times to get them all to come on. And, you need to turn the light switch on AND turn the remote on the first time - then the switch will work. They seem to revert to an awful cool white color sometimes and I haven’t figured out the trigger. So you don’t know what color light you’re going to get when you flip the switch. I can see this being annoying for everyday use when I don’t need/want to use the remote. The misleading: I haven’t tested how long they stay lit, but the description here say “up to 50 hours of use” and the box says “3-5 hours continuous use in an outage.” Those are REALLY different figures!

I like that they are able to be used in a lamp and also that they come with a hanger so you can move it around when the power goes out.

They did not work very good at all. Sent them back. I would charge them and they would work for only a few minutes and just turn off. You could turn them back on but who wants to continually have to do that. This was even after I charged them fully. Not worth your time or money!

Good product. Works as advertised

After the last blackout I thought I would find some rechargeable light bulbs for the lamps I have on the most. I did a lot of research and decided on this brand. The price was a bit more but I wanted ones with USB and that would charge in the light socket of my lamps. I am very glad I bought these and they have a hanger that you can use them for a portable light as well.. The hanger has been very helpful when I try to get stuff out of my locker in the basement. lol. I would buy them over and over again and in fact a couple of my older friends are getting them for Christmas. And best of all they come with remotes. Excellent product for my needs!!!!

My daughter was telling me about rechargeable lightbulbs and I was just looking out of curiosity when I came across these. The reviews I read were mixed but some people didn't seem to understand how they work. I got ones for my mum. She is 97 and lives on her own. In the winter the power sometimes goes out if it is stormy. If the power goes out in the evening she will be stuck in her chair because it is too dark to see anything. She also struggles to switch on a torch, which she would have to find first!! I have put one of these bulbs in her sitting room lamp and one in the hall. If the power goes off they stay on. The light is not as bright as when they have power, maybe not bright enough to read but it is bright enough to be able to see where you are going and much safer than a candle.
