Rechargeable Light Bulbs


Got one of these in February and it's worked nicely. Sure only a few months but no issues.
 
Im also running something similar, for last few months in my bathroom
I never switch the light off, stays on permanently

When load shedding hits it immediately goes to around half the light output I would guess

And stays on for many hours, just gets dimmer and dimmer as time goes by

Did a test the other night by physically switching the light off at the wall switch and it just got dimmer and dimmer throughout the night, when I woke up next morning it was still on but you could barely see anything in the bathroom.

It recharges as soon as you switch on the wall switch again.

Its cheap but it kinda works

Yeah lol. I've got something similar. If I need to pee I need to pee. Bathroom must have a form of light that works even with loadshedding at night.
 
Bought one of these crappy things yesterday. Had it switched all day today to charge it, loadshedding happens and the light stays off. Definitely returning it tomorrow.
Depends on the fitting it is in. A single bulb of multibulb fitting?
The light switch at the wall MUST be on, AND at least one other appliance in the house or another normal light be on somewhere.
Take the lamp out of the fitting and touch the two terminals with your fingers. It will light up if the battery is charged.
 
For me there is nothing worse than I need to pee and can't see and it's a ****up.

I flat out panic and then the urge to pee gets worse lol :oops:

I have these, but you can't really find them locally anymore.

 
Pee out the window like a man
I stayed in PE for a while with a married couple with 2 small kids. 1 bathroom with a toilet. Gotta go down the stairs for a pee. Long dark stairs. And than sometimes the toilet/bathroom is occupied when you get there..

****. You can't piss anywhere. Can't go piss outside cause the doors are locked.

Central PE. Yirre.

So I used to keep an empty 2l Coke bottle in my room to piss in.

When last did one of you try pissing into a Coke bottle lol? I perfected the art and it was relief.
