Tools and Hardware Reviews of Intermatic PR3C Three-in-One Emergency Power Failure Light
Customer Review: power failure light fails
Summary: 1 Stars
After a night time power failure and my youngest daughter freaking out because she was upstairs and we were downstairs. I decided to purchase several of these lights for the house. One came and did not work right out of the packaging. The rest of them have stopped working in "flashlight" mode, they only work in "night light" mode, when plugged in. They are supposed to change to flashlights when power goes out, however that function has failed on all 4 after 1 week. And yes, I've tried the switch in all different positions and at night; no joy. Now, I have four new night lights - whoops, make that three, as that one doesn't work at all.
Customer Review: Intermatic PR3C power failure light works well
Summary: 4 Stars
The Intermatic PR3C power failure light works fine. The " Three-in-One" description is a bit confusing, but when the power goes off, the light comes on, and it's bright enough for the purpose. When the unit is plugged in and the power is on, it gives off a yellowish light which is not bright enough to function as a night light , so I don't understand what that light is for. The unit only takes up one space in a receptacle, and also has a "pass through" feature , so you can plug any 2 prong plug into the front of the unit, and therefore not lose any net receptacle spaces.
This is a much better unit than the AmerTac lights I also bought.
Customer Review: wOULD NOT BUY AGAIN
Summary: 3 Stars
Bought this item because I was looking for an inexpensive night light/emergency light.
This product does fill this requirement,however:
As noted by other reviewers,the night light is very dim.
Also,I have tried to remove the lens cover to see how easy it would be to remove the bulb.Could not do that on any of these units.
Sent an email to the manufacturer,and they said push on the lens and twist.
I applied quite a bit of force on all three.Nothing.
Also,it would have been a bit better had they included a light sensor in this unit,but I knew it was not included.
Customer Review: Does the job
Summary: 4 Stars
There is nothing fancy about this light, but it does the job. I ordered five; two were broken when they arrived. I returned them and Amazon replaced them. But they charged me return postage, which stinks. Shame on Amazon.
The good things about this unit include: it provides a good night light when the unit is in the "ready" position; the light itself has a large reflector that provides a wide beam in the room or stairwell; when the power fails, it burns at least 3 hours before it begins to dim a bit. The power has always come back on long before the lights have burned out.
Customer Review: "FAILURE " being the key word!
Summary: 1 Stars
I ordered 3 of these lights at once. I followed the enclosed instructions to the letter....very simple...then I turned off the main breaker switch in my house (creating same conditions as a power failure). Two never came on; one came on very briefly (less than 3 minutes) and then went out. Complete failure! I thought I could give it 0 stars, but the lowest you can go is 1. It really didn't deserve any stars. Enough said.
