Bad name for a good product. This energy-efficient LED bulb may not be the brightest, but it does something no conventional light bulb can do – it can stay lit even if the power goes off.
Here’s how this green gadget works: The LED Magic Bulb has multiple functions which are operated by switches:
- Bottom switch – can be used as a normal light bulb – when electricity supply is on, the bulb stays on – when electricity supply is off – the light stays off.
- Middle switch – used for rapid recharging of the built in rechargeable battery – the light stays off.
- Top switch – the light stays on when electricity supply is switched on and will stay on for 3 hours even if electricity is turned off, provided the built-in battery is fully charged.
- The bulb can also be used as a hand-held flash light by pulling its built-in handle down from the bottom.
This LED comes in 4W and 2W models and runs anywhere from $25 to $60. It contains no mercury, consumes up to 90% less electricity than an incandescent bulb and will give you years of use — a great emergency light source if your power goes off. MagicBulb is marketed in America by LED International US, a division of Norway-based LED Electronics International AS. Now about that name…

Genius! Will definitely come in handy for blackouts or emergencies. No more time spent fumbling around trying to remember where the flashlights are or lighting lanterns.
It’s a good idea.
This product would also be great for businesses and schools. Apart from the obvious benefit of the light staying on in a power cut it would also save a huge amount in electricity consumption.
Eco friendly lights will save people money if they transer from the original incandescent light bulbs. These lights have a much more longevitiy than the standard lights. I feel like people don’t always know the certain information, but hopefully they can use a piece of this to learn.
