Tools and Hardware Reviews of Intermatic PR3C Three-in-One Emergency Power Failure Light
Customer Review: Handy Gadget
Summary: 5 Stars
Handy to have, works like it's supposed to work, excellent value. I'm pleased with the purchase, and have put them in all the rooms at my B&B.Customer Review: Handy emergency light
Summary: 4 Stars
This is a great emergency light. It is always handy because you plug it into a wall outlet where it remains until a power outage occurs. In a power outage, the light automatically turns from "night light" orange to "white light" brightness. You can then remove it from the wall, if you choose, and it will light your way around the house but it is definitely not a flashlight and will not last as long as a flashlight. The plug on the front allows you to use the outlet while the light is in the outlet and is a nice convenience. If you have enough of them, you can leave them in the wall outlets and your walking areas will not be totally dark in an emergency. Under non-emergency conditions, this item acts as a night light.Customer Review: Handy, Unobtrusive, and it Has an Outlet Built In
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought this emergency light because it makes sense. While we rarely have power outages where I live we do have earthquakes from time to time. The experts always warn us to be prepared and a light that switches on automatically when the power dies is something I never thought of having before. I have plenty of flashlights but nothing like this. I hope I never need it.
The LED night light feature is orange and quite bright. It may be too bright for those who want to have one of these in a bedroom. But it's perfect for other areas of a home or apartment. I love that while it's using a socket for charging it also offers you one for your other plug-ins. A smart design.
Customer Review: If your power goes out a lot
Summary: 3 Stars
I've owned these for a few years and I just purchased another here on Amazon.
Basically, these lights are plugged into an outlet and have a little neon pilot light that lights up. When the power goes out, the flashlight comes on. There is a switch on the bottom to control this behavior, so it can work completely manually.
I find this is useful for lighting area that you need to walk in the dark at night with no power. It's also useful to use as a quick flashlight if you need one in a hurry.
The light lasts perhaps 15-30 minutes at full brightness and it will gradually get dimmer. I can't say how long it takes to go down to something too dim to be useful. However, if you want a flashlight, this is not the best choice.
The neon pilot light always stops working on these after a few years, and they're a little expensive for what you get. But this is the only low-cost emergency lighting choice. They're pretty much no-fuss.

This product works as advertised...it comes on when the power goes off, makes a handy flashlight, and also makes a nice nightlight. So far so good.
