Emergency Lighting Made Easy with the LED A21 Emergency Light Bulb
Despite reliable illumination being a must-have during power outages, emergency lights have traditionally been reserved for businesses and commercial properties. Unfortunately, this means that many residential homes are often left in the dark during emergency situations, with homeowners resorting to using flashlights or candles for light. But with the LED A21 emergency bulb from PLT, adding emergency lighting to homes has never been more feasible.
A Simple Emergency Lighting Solution
Featuring a red toggle ON/OFF switch and a built-in 1800mAh battery, this versatile LED A21 emergency bulb can be used in any lamp or fixture that has a standard household medium (E26) socket, converting it into an emergency light in seconds. Simply screw it into the socket as you would any other light bulb, making sure that the red toggle switch on the front of the bulb is set to the OFF position. No rewiring or additional work is required.
It also comes with a screw-on hook attachment, turning it in a portable lamp than can be hung overhead or taken on the go. The attachment also has it's own button, providing a second option for turning the light on or off.
Lighting Tip: While this bulb has the same general shape and appearance as a standard A19 bulb, it is larger in size. We recommend making sure that any fixture or lamp has enough space for the bulb to fit.
