Rechargeable Lanterns from Crompton Greaves
It has been a while since we wanted to write about rechargeable lamps/lanterns on aavaas. In India power outages are a common phenomenon. To make sure that your family is safe during these outages after sunset, investing in a rechargeable lamp/emergency lamp is a good option. These illuminate automatically upon power failure and lights the room well. They prevent accidents that can happen in dark rooms such as tripping over, stumbling upon or bouncing into walls. All these accidents have a potential impact on the health of your house members besides possibility of damage to household articles.
Emergency lamps operate on a simple principle. They store electricity in their internal batteries when normal electricity is available and automatically switch to the battery mode and illuminate the room upon a power outage. Mounting these lamps in the pathway and critical rooms such as kitchen and bathroom is a good thing to do.
Further emergency lamps serve as a boon during disaster situations like cyclones, earthquakes and other natural calamities such as floods and extended rains when electricity distribution is disrupted.
Crompton Greaves India has two such products listed on their website. The models are called ” CG-RL & CG-PL”.
