Introduction:
Power outages and non-hardwired lighting spots can be a challenge, but rechargeable light bulbs offer a convenient solution. With various options available, making the right choice can be daunting. This guide will help you navigate through the different types of rechargeable light bulbs and assist you in selecting the best fit for your home.
Types of Rechargeable Light Bulbs:
1. Emergency Use Bulbs with Power Outage Sensor
These bulbs automatically switch to battery power during an outage, ensuring uninterrupted light.
2. Non-Hardwired Bulbs with Built-In Battery and Remote
Ideal for areas without a direct power source, these bulbs are recharged via USB and controlled with a remote.
3. Non-Hardwired Bulbs with AAA Battery and Remote
For those who prefer the flexibility of changing batteries, these bulbs offer a portable and easy-to-maintain option.
First, Choose Based On Your Scenario
- For Emergency Use: This type of rechargeable light bulb is equipped with a power outage sensor. When installed in a lamp for daily use, it functions like a standard light bulb, charging itself during operation. During a power outage, while traditional light bulbs go off, these rechargeable light bulbs remain on.
The working principle of emergency rechargeable light bulbs involves creating an alternative complete circuit without relying on the main power supply. Therefore, when screwed into a lamp socket or held in your hand, a complete circuit is established, and the light turns on. This can create a fun Halloween effect reminiscent of Uncle Fester!
2. For Non-Hardwired Use + Rechargeable: If you have a wall sconce where there's no access to electricity, or if you're converting an off-center bathroom vanity light, or any other situation where you need a lamp but lack a power source, consider using rechargeable light bulbs with a remote. These bulbs operate on internal batteries instead of mains electricity and can be recharged via a USB cable.
Rechargeable light bulbs with remotes can also be used in lamp sockets for a similar effect except electricity don’t flow in (which means you can’t control it by your switch.) , though the Uncle Fester trick becomes a bit more complex. This is because some remote-controlled rechargeable light bulbs feature touch controls or buttons on the bulb itself, while others do not.
3. For NON-HARDWIRED USE + CHANGING BATTERY: If you preferred to use battery, this might be your choice.
Then, Choose Your Colors & Additional Features
- Dimmable Options: Most bulbs with remote controls are dimmable, offering flexibility in lighting intensity.
- Color Temperatures: Consider the ambiance you want to create with options like daylight (5000-6000K), neutral light (4000-5000K), warm white (3000-3800K), or amber light (1800-2300K).
- Additional Features: Look for features like RGB color options and timer functions to enhance your lighting experience.
