Tools and Hardware Reviews of Intermatic PR3C Three-in-One Emergency Power Failure Light
Customer Review: 2 out of 3 work
Summary: 2 Stars
I bought 3 of these for use around the house. Out of the package, only 2 of the 3 worked. The 3rd one is dead.Customer Review: 3-way emergency power failure light
Summary: 5 Stars
This product works better than expected. Would recommend to anyone for use in case you live in an area where power failures happen intermittently. Definitely better than using candles that can cause fires.Customer Review: A good buy.
Summary: 4 Stars
I bought four and all worked fine right out of the box. I'd give 5 stars except the night light is a waste - very dim, useless to the point of wasting electricity (can't imagine it uses much, though). My cost for four of these was less than the cost of just two similar items at Target.Customer Review: A little behind the times
Summary: 3 Stars
We received one of these from my employer (Earth day giveaway, I believe) back in 2000 or 2001. It is supposed to act as a night light while the rechargeable battery inside ensures that, when the power goes off, the night light stays on. When unplugged, it can be used as an emergency flashlight. Additional convenience is provided by its pass through front power outlet.
Many years later, the rechargeable battery is completely dead but I do remember having used it as a flashlight a couple of times in the past. It's still acting as a night light in one of our bathrooms but the light it produces is no longer bright enough to be used on a staircase.
At this time (2009) this item represents old technology. Current LED-based lights that usually turn themselves off during the day are a lot more power efficient. As for emergency flashlights, a wide variety of inexpensive, usually LED-based crank devices are available - we have a few.
Customer Review: A near perfect emergency power failure light
Summary: 4 Stars
The light is good. I wish it also had a real nightlight built into it.
