The Gizzu Everglow Rechargeable Emergency Downlight Bulb is an ideal solution for keeping the lights on during loadshedding. The 3W lightbulb features a 10mm GU10 base connector and gives off a warm white colour when lit. Its 300mAh built-in battery allows it to stay powered during loadshedding. The light bulb takes around 5 hours to fully charge to 100% and can easily be charged by simply leaving the light turned on when there’s no loadshedding. If your light is turned on and a power outage or loadshedding occurs, then the light bulb goes into emergency mode, changing to a cool white colour.
While in emergency mode, the brightness can be manually adjusted between three pre-configured settings and can sustain up to 5 hours of additional use during loadshedding, depending on the brightness level. The brightness can be adjusted by turning the light on and off in 1-second intervals multiple times. Each time this is done the brightness will switch between 25%, 50%, and 100%. Leaving the lightbulb off for a while will reset the brightness setting back to its default 100% brightness.
Smart Bulb Technology enables the bulb to determine if there is a power failure as opposed to the light switch being turned off. If the light switch is on and the power fails, the bulb will activate emergency mode and switch from Warm White to Cool White. If the light switch is off when the power fails the light will remain off unless turned on at the switch.
