| Home emergency lights from AmerTac The devastation of hurricane Katrina is overwhelming and is a clear wake up call to be prepared for the next storm. Fortunately most hurricanes and thunderstorms bring no more than downed branches and power outages to the majority of residents in a storm's path. According to the Atlantic Oceanographic and Meteorological Laboratory, we are just entering peak hurricane season, but there is still time to prepare. One worry that can be immediately eliminated is being caught in the dark. Several inexpensive home emergency lights made by AmerTac™ and Amerelle® offer "Fumble free" instant lighting including the company's Rechargeable Three Way Power Failure Lite. A convenient combination of an emergency light, flashlight, and a guiding light, the Rechargeable Ni-Cad Lite automatically illuminates when power fails due to blackouts, hurricanes, thunderstorms, or even a tripped circuit breaker. By keeping the Rechargeable Ni-Cad Lite always plugged into any wall outlet, the light will be charged and ready for instant use much like emergency lighting in public places. The collapsible plug feature of the Ni-Cad light allows the user to remove it from the outlet to quickly and easily convert it to a portable handheld flashlight when needed. The light's built-in battery automatically recharges when the light is plugged into a wall outlet so there is never a need for locating fresh batteries. Additional emergency lighting options for homeowners from AmerTac and Amerelle are several battery-operated utility lights that can be used anywhere in a home. Their popular Moon Lite™ offers tap on/tap off convenience, and can sit flat on a tabletop or be mounted on a wall. One version features a timer for battery conservation, while another can also be powered with an AC/DC adapter available separately. AmerTac also makes battery-operated fluorescent lights that provide powerful, long-lasting illumination during storms. Each light includes mounting hardware and replaceable tubes or bulbs. write your comments about the article :: © 2005 Construction News :: home page |
