Lights On, Load Shedding Off
What's the best type of lighting for load shedding?
A mix works best, solar lights for anything outdoors or near a window, and rechargeable lanterns or candles for indoor rooms. That way you're covered whether the outage hits during the day or after dark.
Do solar lights still work if there's load shedding during the day?
Yes, solar lights charge from daylight, not from your home's power supply, so they charge and work exactly the same during load shedding as any other day.
How long do rechargeable lanterns last during a power cut?
Most of our rechargeable lanterns run for 8 to 18 hours on a full charge, depending on the model, more than enough to cover a single load shedding stage, even a longer one.
Are flameless candles a safe option during load shedding?
Yes, and safer than real candles left unattended during an outage. Our flameless candles run up to 300 hours per set and give the same warm, flickering glow without any fire risk.
Can night lights help kids through load shedding?
Yes, our rechargeable kids' night lights are a simple way to keep a bedroom softly lit and familiar during an unexpected outage, no fumbling for candles or torches in the dark.
How do I make sure I'm ready before the power goes out?
Keep your solar lights charging during the day and your rechargeable lanterns and candles topped up in advance, that way you're never caught off guard when a stage change happens with little warning.
