What kind of product is the disaster ceiling light?

The following describes what kind of product the disaster ceiling light is.
(*These features may differ for each product.)
 

1.Normal lighting function

Disaster ceiling lights are lights that can be used in everyday life. It can be attached to the mounting part of the ceiling light that is common at home. It is recommended to be properly installed by an electrician, etc., but it is possible for the purchaser to install it themselves, so there is no need for major construction work. Basically, you can turn it on and off with a switch or remote control. Some models allow you to set the brightness, color temperature, etc. just like a normal ceiling light.

 2.Emergency lighting function

A disaster ceiling light can function as lighting even in the event of a power outage or emergency. It is connected to a different power source, such as a built-in battery, and will automatically turn on as an emergency light even in the event of a power failure. A blackout detection device is included (or sold separately), and the light will turn on as soon as the machine loses power. This will sense when there is a power outage and turn on the lights in a few seconds.

 3. Long life

Disaster ceiling lights often use LEDs , so they are energy efficient and durable, and are made to withstand long-term use with low energy consumption. Because of its long life and bright light, you don't have to replace it frequently. Also, for lighting, heat is said to shorten the life of electronic components, but LED lighting generates less heat, so it can operate for tens of thousands of hours with stable performance.

Some of the products are equipped with waterproof and dustproof performance. Especially when used outdoors or in a humid environment, it is designed to be waterproof and dustproof to increase durability and safety.

 4. Must have self-charging function

The disaster ceiling light has a built-in storage battery, which is also written in the emergency function part, and is normally charged from the power supply. This allows the power from that battery to be used to power the lights during a power outage. The capacity and charging time of the rechargeable battery vary depending on the product, but it can be lit for up to about 20 hours.

 5. Abundant designs

Disaster ceiling lights are not only for disaster prevention, but also serve as interior decoration elements. We offer a variety of designs and styles of disaster ceiling lights, designed to blend in with your interior.

Here are the things you need to bring to evacuate after a power outage.

 

What to prepare for evacuation

When evacuating, it is necessary to secure one for drinking and one for cooking. Make sure you have a safe drinking water supply, such as bottled water or a water filter, as tap water may not be available. It is recommended to have 2 to 3 liters of water per adult per day.

3.Cold protection equipment

Prepare a coat, jacket, parka, etc. that are highly resistant to the cold. It is recommended to use thick material and heat insulation. Windproof and waterproof items also help.

Also, bring thick, waterproof gloves. It is convenient to choose a type that is easy to operate with your fingertips. In addition, use a scarf or neck warmer to keep your neck warm. It prevents cold air from entering and keeps your body temperature.

Have cash ready when you evacuate. It is important to carry a small amount of cash with you, as credit cards and ATMs may not work due to power outages or communication problems. You can also purchase additional items at convenience stores and supermarkets.

Prepare a smartphone charger and mobile battery when evacuating. Devices such as smartphones and radios are the only real-time sources of information during power outages. Be prepared for a prolonged evacuation.
