 Versatile flashlight / power-failure light for basement and hallways January 25, 2010

This Energizer RCL1NM2WR Rechargeable LED Flashlight can operate in two modes:
- In 'ON' or 'high-beam' mode, it projects a bright focused beam, which forms a circle of 3 ft diameter from a distance of 12 ft away. The light pattern is very similar to that from my Rayovac BRSLED2AA-B 2AA LED Flashlight, except the output from this Energizer flashlight is at least twice as bright when it is freshly charged.
- In 'nightlight' or 'low-beam' mode, the light is much dimmer, while the battery life is extended to 15 hours, instead of just 2-3 hours in full-power mode.
To use it as an emergency power failure light, you should leave this flashlight in 'ON' position, and plug it into an AC outlet. The light goes out while it is being recharged. But when the power goes out, or when you unplug it from the outlet, the light comes back on immediately.
You can also leave the unit in 'nightlight' mode while it is being recharged. But in this case, the flashlight remains on 24 hours a day since there is no light sensor. The light is actually too bright when used in bedroom. But it is just perfect for basement or hallways where you always need some illumination. Plus you'll never have to search for a flashlight again.
Some other points that I like:
- Unlike many other power failure lights, this one does NOT cover both AC outlets when it is plugged in.
- It can be mounted in either up or down directions.
- It only consumes 1W when recharging in nightlight mode.
There is one thing I don't quite understand: The flashlight is powered by a single NiMH button cell, Varta CP300H, with capacity of only 300mAh. It seems to me there is enough space to fit an AAA NiMH cell with capacity of 800+ mAh, or even an AA NiMH cell with capacity of 2000+ mAh. By doing this, the battery run time will be extended by several folds. But more importantly, I will be able to swap in alkaline cells when the rechargeable battery runs out!
On the other hand, the main purpose of this flashlight is just to help me find my other flashlights in case of a blackout. So for that I'm completely satisfied.
Excellent nightlight / flashlight / emergency light during power failure December 26, 2009

I highly recommend these, it's just like a little flash light that's always charged,
can be switched to automatically turn on if and when you loose power, and can also be
a nightlight. 3 great functions in one super bright LED light.
I purchased 4 of these for my home, one for each floor hallway and one for a bathroom
that doesn't have any windows and gets very dark at night, so the nightlight feature
was great and shines just enough with out being to bright. I've often thought about
what if I was in that bathroom and the power went out...Hmmm might bump into a lot of things
trying to find my way out and back down the hallway.
These are excellent!! Relatively small in size, fairly rugged, feels like good quality,
an LED light meaning it will run for hours and hours on a charge and wow they are extremely bright.
For me now if I need a flashlight I simply go to the outlet and it's always ready to go.
If the power fails during a storm, these automatically turn themselves on.
Great, no more bumping into things in the middle of the night or coming home to a completely
dark house if the power is out.
I've also discovered that even if I'm not at home and their is a power failure, people
still think I'm at home...my neighbor across the street saw the light on in my house during
a recent storm that hit the area that took down the power for about 3 or 4 hours, and thought
I was home .... Nice little security feature there I thought, if there is a light on inside the house,
probably means someone's at home...a criminal is probably going to think twice before breaking into a
home that's lit up when the power goes out.
I also found a little BONUS on these units (at least the ones I received)
A small door with a little screw holding it shut, on the opposite side as the switch.
When I removed the screw and used a screw driver to slide the door/pocket out, I found
a replaceable battery .. .BIG BONUS.. Now granted the battery is one I've never seen,
it's like a large oversized watch battery, but it's replaceable meaning you can purchase it
online for sure if not at your local battery store and you won't be throwing these devices
away if the battery no longer holds a charge...just replace the battery.
Previous devices, from other manufacturers that I've owned have been throw aways due to the units
being sealed shut, no way to open them without completely destroying the units.
I've had my units for nearly 3 years and during a recent power outage that lasted 3+ hours these units
were still going strong and were running at full brightness.
No more floundering in the dark! January 22, 2010

Every winter in the past few years, my residential area was hit by several power outages. I must have over one dozen flashlights scattered all over the house, ready for a blackout any moment. Still there is one nagging concern: how do I get to the first flashlight in total darkness? That's where this Energizer Weather Ready Compact Rechargeable LED Light comes in.

- In 'ON' or 'high-power' mode, it projects a bright focused beam which forms a circle of 3 ft diameter from a distance of 12 ft away.

excellent emergency light April 3, 2010
A. Halperin (Charlotte, NC USA)
While all emergency lights perform the same basic function, I think this one is better than average, mostly because of its long run time. While the main function of emergency-on lights is to provide you with enough light to find your more serious flashlight(s), since this runs for over two hours, I think it will function as one of your available flashlights when the power goes out. It's not too substantial, but since it's meant for indoor use I don't think that should be held against it. This product (or a similar light) should be part of every well-equipped home.
Great For Camping! May 3, 2010
Mary Gerber (west palm beach, fl)
We are avid campers and I am always looking for ways to reduce costs, so when I saw this rechargable flashlight I just had to give it a try. It produces enough light to be useful after dark and has saved me TONS of money on batteries. We can usually get through a whole weekend of camping without recharging it as there is usually a campfire at night and we really only need the flashlight for trips to the bathroom, short night hikes and to help find things in the tent after the sun has gone down. I've also found that it holds a charge for weeks at a time which has come in handy at home too.
