Blackout Buddy - Emergency Radio and Flashlight

February 9th, 2007 by Al in Miscellaneous Gadgets

Here it is, another “Why didn’t I think of that” gadget, the Blackout Buddy, the emergency flashlight (and radio) that automatically comes on when there’s a power cut.

The Blackout Buddy is the essential emergency tool for every home. Designed to stay plugged into the wall for continuous charging and to be ready for any emergency, the Blackout Buddy’s built-in LED light and AM/FM radio automatically turn on when the electricity goes out. The rechargeable battery provides enough power for hours of emergency AM/FM radio and light operation: 12-16 hours of LED light use, or 4-8 hours of radio use. The Blackout Buddy also serves as a convenient and functional everyday plug-in radio and light for any room in the home or office.

Available from Ambient Weather, found on BoJ.

Thanks for the comment evei, I probably should of explained it a bit more. That’s the smart bit about this gadget, it charges when it’s plugged in and then when it detects a power loss if automatically turns on and is powered from the charge.
