Tools and Hardware Reviews of Intermatic PR3C Three-in-One Emergency Power Failure Light
Customer Review: an excellent product.
Summary: 5 Stars
It is an excellent product combining flash light and emergency light together easily and economically.Customer Review: Glad I bought these before the storm of '06!
Summary: 4 Stars
I had one of these for YEARS, when it finally died (no fault of its own, it was old). I LOVED it. Was very handy. So, I was quite excited to find them here on Amazon, so I bought 5 of them. 1 for the powder room, the kids bathroom, and various hallway outlets. I'm glad I got them when I did, because a few weeks later, the 'Blast of 2006' knocked out power all over the PNW. These came in SO handy when the power went out in the middle of the night. By placing them in the hallways and bathrooms, it was easy to find my way for that 'late night run'.
Don't expect the battery to last a LONG time on each charge, as they don't, which is why I give them 4 stars instead of 5. They are a short term convenience, but oh such a nice convenience. The fact that they double as a night night when the power is on is an added bonus.
Make sure you get enough for all the bathrooms and hallways! And, when the power goes out, turn them off to save battery life.
Customer Review: Lasted a year so far
Summary: 4 Stars
Although this is not exactly my idea of the perfect light, it pretty much does the job. The main thing I like about it is that it has the extra outlet, so that even though it covers up both outlets, you still have access to two. That's important when it's placed in a bathroom. The things I don't like are 1) It's bulky--too wide to fit in my hand comfortably 2)the flashlight mode is not very bright, although it's acceptable 3)It doesn't last long enough when the power is out. 4) I would like to have the ability to turn off the night light. 5) I wish it could stand up on its own and act like a lamp.
Even with all those limitations, though, I would still recommend it. It has lasted a year and is still fine. If you read the reviews on other similar lights, they all have limitations and most cover up both outlets.
I just wish they'd improve it a little.
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: Good product!
Summary: 4 Stars
Among the various similar offerings on Amazon, I liked this the best mainly because of the pass-thru outlet. Having purchased 14 of them so far I am very pleased with them. They make good night lights, emergency power failure lights, and occasional flashlights. Their flashlight beams are pretty weak, but would be welcome in a black-out situation. I have not tried any LED based units, which might work better as flashlights, because none of them had the pass-through outlet. For me, the additional outlet was the deciding factor in choosing this one. One of my 14 units arrived defective. Have not had them long enough to know how long they will last before needing replacement.
