How do SafeLight Beacon Bulbs work?
SafeLight Beacon Bulbs are designed to be extremely easy to install and maintain — simply screw the bulb into any standard light fixture when the power is on and the SafeLight Beacon Bulb will start charging its backup battery automatically. When the power goes out, you don't have to do anything! SafeLight Beacon automatically detects the outage and turns itself on, as long as the light switch is on.
In other words, you can install SafeLight Beacon Bulbs like any other light bulb… the only difference is they’ll keep you out of the dark when a blackout occurs.
How do I charge the bulb?
You don’t have to do anything — SafeLight Beacon charges itself! Charging the bulbs is as easy as installing them into a lamp or any light fixture in your home that is connected to power. Simply screw it in, flip on the lightswitch, and the bulb will automatically charge itself.
How long does it take to fully charge the bulb?
It takes 8 hours to fully charge the bulb — so it will be ready to protect you from the first day you install it!
Why is SafeLight Beacon so much better than other emergency options?
When the power goes out, you generally have a few options — but none of them are quite perfect:
Generators: These are expensive, bulky, and worst of all, difficult to reach in total darkness. While they can provide power for other things, most outages don’t last very long, so they’re overkill and present their own type of danger (tripping hazard, shorting out) for most people.
Candles: Not only do they give off weak, unreliable light, they also present a fire hazard.
Flashlights: Flashlights give off poor light and they don’t charge themselves. There’s a good chance your batteries will be dead when you need it most!
Emergency lights: These are often expensive and bulky like generators, and they give off cold lighting that doesn’t inspire comfort.
That’s why we created SafeLight Beacon — they provide warm, comfortable lighting without missing a beat, which significantly reduces your risk of harm while making life in high-storm areas much less frustrating. We’re really proud of them!
What makes SafeLight Beacon portable? Can I take it with me and use it on camping trips or ?
Each SafeLight Beacon Bulb comes with its own hook, which keeps the bulb lit and is designed to be easily carried or hung in a place where you need light. The included hook is great for spot lighting, using SafeLight Beacon as a flashlight, or creating warm lighting wherever you go outdoors. They’re great to have around for camping trips and in the car, and we recommend keeping one extra SafeLight Beacon Bulb handy in case you need to go somewhere during an outage.
How fast do SafeLight Beacon Bulbs ship?
FAST! They ship all orders within 24-48 hours of receiving them. On average SafeLight Beacon is delivered within 3-5 business days in the United States. International shipping times will vary depending on country/customs etc.
