What you need to know

The size of this bulb is very close to the standard LED bulb that we usually use in a table lamp, so I'm glad it fits in a table lamp as a ceiling light as well. This light can be used daily like a normal LED light bulb (install in the socket like a normal light bulb). The amazing thing is that this lightbulb can run for hours during power outages. I tested it by turning off the power switch and then turning on the light switch. The light bulb stays on for several hours. I think this lamp would be very handy for camping or outdoor activities. I tried to light it up with just my fingers by just touching the base and the filament of the bulb, your finger acts as a conductor and the bulb lights up, I showed it to the kids as a cool trick. But it's more convenient if I use a hat. When I put the cap on there is a button I can press to turn it on. Compared to other types of emergency lighting, this has the unique advantage of being able to illuminate a large area of a room instead of just projecting a beam of light. This guarantees more safety because you can see everything around you even in the dark. I would use it as a portable lamp when I need it, it's very portable, light weight, safe and versatile. UPDATE: There are a few key points that users may care about. This bulb must remain in a closed circuit in order to glow. For example, if I plug it into a regular lamp and turn on the switch, it turns on even when there is no electricity. Just make sure the switch is in the "ON" position. When you turn off the switch, the lightbulb goes out like a normal lightbulb because the lightbulb is no longer in a closed circuit. When I light a lightbulb with my fingers, my fingers create a complete circuit and the lightbulb can be turned on. I've also noticed that these bulbs may not work in multi-socket fixtures (in my bathroom where there are many cups for lamps above the mirror). If I just plug a lightbulb into the outlet, it works as expected. but when I plug two lightbulbs into the same power strip there is always one lightbulb that won't turn off, it looks like some sort of compatibility issue. In any case, there's no need to plug two bulbs into a multiple socket in an emergency, so I just plugged in one of those bulbs and used regular LED bulbs in other sockets.
