How Do They Charge?

They charge automatically while you use them! Simply screw the bulb into any standard light fixture. Whenever the light switch is turned on and your home has power, the built-in battery silently charges in the background.

There are no extra cables, messy wires, or bulky charging stations required.

Can I Use Them As Portable Lights?

Absolutely! Each bulb includes a convenient screw-on hook attachment. If you need to move around during a blackout, simply unscrew the cool-to-the-touch bulb from your lamp, attach the hook, and carry it with you like a handheld lantern.

You can hang them in dark closets, carry them to the basement to check the breaker, or even pack them for camping trips.

How Long Do They Last During An Outage?

When fully charged, the smart built-in battery provides continuous light for up to 10 hours during a power outage.

This gives you plenty of time to safely navigate your home, find emergency supplies, and wait out the blackout without ever having to rely on dangerous candles or weak phone flashlights.

How Bright Are They?

These bulbs deliver 850 lumens in normal mode — equivalent to a standard 60W incandescent bulb.

During a power outage (battery mode), they provide 400 lumens — plenty of light to safely move around your home, read, or handle tasks without fumbling in the dark.

They're bright enough for everyday use in lamps, ceiling fixtures, hallways, bedrooms, and kitchens.

  • Sam Johnson April 26, 2026

    Installed three of these in our main floor fixtures. The next storm knocked out our power and the lights stayed on without a flicker. My kids didn’t notice the outage for a full minute.

    Replaced four bulbs and haven’t thought about flashlights since.

    Verified Purchase

    Real-world test: two outages in the first month. Both times these performed exactly as advertised.

    The 400-lumen backup mode is well-calibrated — bright enough to see clearly but not blinding at 2am.

  • Bella Ross March 15, 2026
    Verified Purchase

    The genius is that you never have to prepare. The battery is always charging in the background while you live your life.

    The price is reasonable for what you get: a bulb, a battery backup, and genuine peace of mind.

  • Aaliyah West February 26, 2026

    Not just an emergency product. These are excellent everyday bulbs that happen to have backup power built in.

    Verified Purchase

    We had a power outage for 18 hours last winter. These lit the main floor all the way through.

    I gave these as a holiday gift to my parents. Best gift I’ve ever given them.

    The switch to battery mode is invisible. There’s no flicker, no delay, nothing. The light just stays on.

  • Alexander Hernandez January 27, 2026
    Verified Purchase

    My partner had been asking for better emergency prep for a year. This is the answer she didn’t know existed.

  • Avery Adams January 23, 2026

    The battery charges itself every time the light is on. By the time you need it, it’s ready.

    Verified Purchase

    All my critical lights — kitchen, hallway, bathroom — are now covered. Any outage, I’m fine.

    No setup beyond screwing them in. No apps, no hubs, no pairing. It just works.

    Verified Purchase

    These actually deliver on the promise. Power cuts? No problem.

  • Stella Wood December 28, 2025

  • Isaiah Powell December 24, 2025
    Verified Purchase

    Our power company does occasional rolling outages. These have made them a complete non-event.

    These gave us real peace of mind through hurricane season. Every room we needed stayed lit.

    Bought for a coastal property that gets frequent storm outages. These have been invaluable.

  • Brody Mason November 24, 2025
    Verified Purchase

    The cool-to-touch body matters when you unscrew it mid-outage to use as a lantern.

  • James Wilson November 20, 2025
    Verified Purchase

    Screwed in like any normal bulb, acts like any normal bulb, and lights up the moment the grid fails. Nothing else to say.

  • Isabella Thomas November 16, 2025
    Verified Purchase

    Fits our existing lamps with no adapters or changes. Screw in, done.

  • Henry Young November 11, 2025
    Verified Purchase

    Charged up over two weeks of normal use, then the power went out for four hours. These ran the whole time without dimming.

  • Emily Scott November 7, 2025

    The auto-detect fires in under a second. You almost can’t tell the power went out.

  • Jackson Mitchell November 3, 2025
    Verified Purchase

    Solid construction throughout. These feel like they were built to last, not just to sell.

  • Penelope Evans October 30, 2025
    Verified Purchase

    Simple install, strong battery, and the kind of peace of mind you can’t put a price on.

    Verified Purchase

    Power outages used to stress me out. Not anymore.

  • Christopher Gray October 17, 2025
    Verified Purchase

    We have solar panels but no battery storage. These fill the gap during the transition.

  • Violet Price October 13, 2025
    Verified Purchase

    The auto-on feature works exactly as promised. Outage hit during dinner and the kitchen light stayed on. We just kept eating.

  • Christian Jenkins October 8, 2025
    Verified Purchase

    The best emergency prep purchase I’ve made. It installs like any bulb and works when nothing else does.

  • Ariana Washington October 4, 2025

    The portable hook is more practical than I expected. We hung one in the hallway during a long outage and it lit the whole corridor.

  • Nicholas Griffin September 30, 2025
    Verified Purchase

    850 lumens is more than enough for a room. This isn’t just emergency backup — it’s great everyday lighting that also has backup.

  • Ivy Sullivan September 26, 2025
    Verified Purchase

    The kids think the auto-on magic is cool. I think replacing the fire-hazard candles is the best part.

  • Dylan Reynolds September 21, 2025
    Verified Purchase

    No fumbling, no searching, no panic. Power goes out, lights stay on. That’s the whole deal.

  • Quinn Marshall September 17, 2025
    Verified Purchase

    First week installed I tested one by flipping the breaker. Back to full brightness in less than a second.

  • Ember Simpson September 13, 2025

    Simply the best emergency lighting upgrade you can make to a home.

  • Michael Brown September 4, 2025
    Verified Purchase

    Three years with our first set. They’ve survived more storms than I can count.

  • Sophia Anderson August 31, 2025

    We lose power a few times each winter. Since installing, the whole routine has changed — we just keep going about our evening.

  • Benjamin Lee August 27, 2025
    Verified Purchase

    I bought the 10-pack and put them everywhere. Now my parents want a set too.

  • Abigail Lopez August 23, 2025
    Verified Purchase

    We put these throughout the main floor. During the next outage we had a full household of calm.

  • David Nelson August 18, 2025
    Verified Purchase

    Tested by flipping the circuit breaker mid-use. Instant switch to battery mode, full brightness, zero hesitation.

  • Layla Campbell August 14, 2025
    Verified Purchase

    Bought after seeing these at a neighbor’s place during a storm. Their lights were on. Mine weren’t.

  • Carter Morris August 10, 2025
    Verified Purchase

    Light quality is excellent. I forgot these were special — they look and work exactly like regular LED bulbs.

  • Ruby Bailey August 6, 2025
    Verified Purchase

    400 lumens in battery mode is still plenty bright for moving around safely at 3am.

  • Hudson Torres August 1, 2025
    Verified Purchase

    The auto-on sensor is fast enough that it’s invisible. You don’t even experience the outage.

  • Hazel Kelly July 28, 2025

    Five stars. No caveats. These work.

  • Charles Henderson July 24, 2025
    Verified Purchase

    Living in a storm-prone area, these are a must. Every room that has one just keeps working when the power cuts.

    Verified Purchase

    These belong in every home. Simple, effective, and genuinely useful when it counts.

  • Jonathan Bryant July 15, 2025

    No wiring. No special hardware. No battery packs to buy separately. Just a better version of the bulb you already have.

  • Lila Hamilton July 11, 2025
    Verified Purchase

    Two years of storm season and these haven’t let us down once. That’s the whole review.

  • Anthony Jordan July 7, 2025
    Verified Purchase

    The battery holds well between outages. Tested after three weeks unused and it still ran for hours.

  • Eliana Mcdonald July 3, 2025
    Verified Purchase

    The self-charging design is the smartest part. You use the bulb normally, the battery charges, you never worry.

  • Brielle Wells June 28, 2025
    Verified Purchase

    My whole main floor is covered. Not once since installation have I needed a flashlight.

  • Damian Hicks June 24, 2025

    Used one as a portable lantern during a camping trip — hung it by the hook all evening. Didn’t expect that use case.

  • Margaret Warren June 20, 2025
    Verified Purchase

    Installed in the main bedroom lamps. Next outage my partner didn’t even wake up.

  • Ava Rodriguez June 16, 2025
    Verified Purchase

    10 hours of backup light is no joke. We had an overnight outage and these ran through the whole thing.

  • Ethan White June 11, 2025
    Verified Purchase

    Bought four and replaced every important fixture. First outage two weeks later — seamless transition.

  • Evelyn King June 7, 2025
    Verified Purchase

    Works in any standard E26 socket. Used them in table lamps, ceiling fixtures, and floor lamps — all of them.

  • Samuel Baker June 3, 2025
    Verified Purchase

    Makes the house feel safer. Knowing every important fixture stays on changes how you feel about bad weather.

  • Madison Turner May 30, 2025
    Verified Purchase

    Emergency preparedness that requires zero behavior change. That’s the pitch and it delivers.

  • Aiden Stewart May 25, 2025
    Verified Purchase

    Put these in every overhead fixture on the main floor. The house is now outage-proof.

  • Hannah Bell May 21, 2025

    I’ve recommended these to everyone in a storm-prone region. No flashlights needed.

    Verified Purchase

    Family emergency preparedness is now handled. No more buying batteries or hunting for flashlights.

  • Thomas Barnes May 8, 2025

    We used to keep candles everywhere for emergencies. These replaced all of that — and they’re actually safer.

  • Maya Long May 4, 2025
    Verified Purchase

    Bedroom, hallway, and kitchen all covered. When the lights go out they actually stay on.

  • Gabriel Foster April 30, 2025
    Verified Purchase

    The transition to battery power is sub-second. You essentially don’t experience the outage at all.

  • Hailey Myers April 26, 2025
    Verified Purchase

    I’ve tried backup lighting solutions before. This is the first one where you genuinely don’t have to think about it.

  • Brayden Cole April 21, 2025
    Verified Purchase

    Ordered two, used them for a week, then ordered eight more. These are the real thing.

  • Genesis Harrison April 17, 2025

    I was skeptical of the auto-on claim. One outage later — converted.

  • Madeline Murray April 13, 2025
    Verified Purchase

    Recommended by our electrician as the safest backup lighting solution. That’s high praise.

  • Xavier Porter April 9, 2025
    Verified Purchase

    Tested ours after a full charge. One bulb ran for over 10 hours in battery mode, exactly as described.

  • Vivian Morales April 4, 2025
    Verified Purchase

    Outdoor shed and the garage have these now too. The whole property is covered.

  • Olivia Miller March 31, 2025
    Verified Purchase

    We’ve had two outages since installing and both times the house stayed lit without me doing a thing. That reliability is priceless.

  • Lucas Moore March 27, 2025
    Verified Purchase

    Timed the backup during a planned maintenance outage. Ran for 9 hours 45 minutes before we shut it off manually.

  • Harper Allen March 23, 2025
    Verified Purchase

    Bought these after a three-hour outage left us stumbling around with phone flashlights. Never again.

  • Joseph Green March 18, 2025
    Verified Purchase

    Stayed on through a full 10-hour blackout. The rest of the neighborhood had flashlights and candles. We had dinner.

  • Scarlett Perez March 14, 2025

    Works just as well in a table lamp as a ceiling fixture. Completely versatile.

  • Theodore Edwards March 10, 2025
    Verified Purchase

    Three storms this season. Every time, we had light. Worth it ten times over.

  • Lily Cook March 6, 2025
    Verified Purchase

    Would buy again, have bought again. Three sets total and zero complaints.

  • Ryan Richardson March 1, 2025
    Verified Purchase

    Build quality matches the price. Solid, no wobble, no rattle — just a good bulb.

  • Lillian Ramirez February 25, 2025
    Verified Purchase

    Reliable and well-designed. The hook attachment feels slightly plasticky for the price.

  • Ezra Bennett February 21, 2025
    Verified Purchase

    Install was simple and the auto-on works well. Taking off one star because my first bulb had about a 2-second delay before switching rather than the advertised fraction of a second.

  • Zoe Perry February 17, 2025
    Verified Purchase

    Good solid backup bulb. Would appreciate a visible battery percentage indicator somehow.

  • Adrian Butler February 12, 2025
    Verified Purchase

    Trustworthy product. My only note is that charging takes a full day of ‘on’ time from fully depleted.

  • Skylar Diaz February 8, 2025

    Works exactly as described. I just wish backup mode were bright enough for reading, not just navigation.

  • Cameron Wallace February 4, 2025
    Verified Purchase

    These are great but 400 lumens in battery mode is a noticeable step down from 850. Fine for navigating but I wish backup brightness were closer to normal.

  • Paisley Fisher January 31, 2025
    Verified Purchase

    Reliable performance. Dock one star because one unit arrived without the hook included.

  • Caroline Ortiz January 26, 2025
    Verified Purchase

    The auto-on fires every time. Docked one star because 400 lumens in battery mode is noticeably dimmer than normal mode.

  • Cooper Stevens January 22, 2025
    Verified Purchase

    Love the self-charging concept and battery life is solid. My only complaint is I’d like the bulb in a cooler color temperature.

  • Adeline Boyd January 18, 2025
    Verified Purchase

    The bulb itself is excellent. The included hook feels like an afterthought compared to the quality of the bulb.

  • Emma Davis January 14, 2025
    Verified Purchase

    Works great and I’ve recommended them widely. The battery status indicator could be more obvious.

  • Mason Taylor January 9, 2025
    Verified Purchase

    Solid emergency bulb all around. Would love it if they made a version that also worked as a smart bulb.

  • Amelia Walker January 5, 2025

    Good product overall. The hook lantern is a bit wobbly compared to a dedicated lantern but it does the job.

  • Matthew Hill January 1, 2025
    Verified Purchase

    Does what it says and the transition is seamless. The lamp base gets mildly warm after hours of continuous use.

  • Aria Carter December 28, 2024
    Verified Purchase

    These pass every real-world test. I’d just love a higher backup brightness option.

  • Owen Parker December 23, 2024
    Verified Purchase

    The auto-on works but there’s a 3–4 second gap where the light goes dark before backup kicks in. Enough to startle someone.

  • Chloe Rogers December 19, 2024
    Verified Purchase

    Works fine but my backup duration is closer to 6–7 hours with daily use, not the advertised 10.

  • Luke Rivera December 15, 2024
    Verified Purchase

    Solid everyday bulb but the backup battery degraded noticeably after about 18 months of daily use.

  • Riley Peterson December 11, 2024
    Verified Purchase

    Good concept but one of my four bulbs failed to switch over during an outage and stayed dark. The other three worked fine.

  • Nathan Sanders December 6, 2024
    Verified Purchase

    My backup duration is nowhere near 10 hours. Getting 4 at most with my usage.

  • Lucy Coleman December 2, 2024

    The auto-on feature stopped working after two months. Still works as a regular bulb but that’s the whole point.

  • Asher Flores November 28, 2024
    Verified Purchase

    The hook stripped after the second use. Minor but annoying at this price point.

  • Leah Russell November 24, 2024
    Verified Purchase

    One of my two bulbs stopped switching to battery mode consistently. You can’t trust an emergency light that’s unreliable.

  • Connor Graham November 19, 2024
    Verified Purchase

    The battery never charges. Had an outage and it went dark like a regular bulb. Completely defeats the purpose.

  • Eva Owens November 15, 2024
    Verified Purchase

    Bulb died entirely within 6 weeks. Customer support offered a discount on another purchase instead of a replacement.

  • Colton Cruz November 11, 2024
    Verified Purchase

    The LED flickers noticeably on the lowest switch settings in some fixtures. Had to return it.

  • Jose Webb November 6, 2024
    Verified Purchase

    Three of my four never switched to battery mode. Returned the whole set.

More About Akina

Akina was born from a simple frustration: beautiful lighting shouldn't require a contractor. We design wireless lighting for people who care deeply about their space — people who want the look of an interior designer's touch without the permanence, the cost, or the drill marks. Every sconce we make is crafted to feel like it belongs in Architectural Digest. And installs like it shouldn't.
