What is StormLight?
Will the StormLight work when the power goes out?
Yes! The StormLight will illuminate brighter, outward-facing LED lights when there is no power to the outlet. Note that this requires a true power outage to the house or building; turning off an individual circuit breaker to the outlet will not necessarily trigger the battery backup illumination.
How long do the LED lights last?
The LED light window is designed to last up to 25 years, eliminating the need for frequent replacements.
Where can I install StormLight?
StormLight is ideal for hallways, bathrooms, bedrooms, kitchens, and any area where you need convenient lighting, both in everyday life and in emergency situations.
What outlets work with the StormLight?
The StormLight is available in 3 styles, which are compatible with either 120V AC Duplex, Decor, or GFCI outlets. They will work with the vast majority of outlet brands and styles, so long as they have the typical side screw terminals.
Can I install the StormLight on my light switches?
No, StormLights can only be used on Duplex, Decor or GFCI outlets with side screw terminals. Even though a rocker-style light switch may be the same size and shape as a Decor or GFCI outlet, the tabs on the back of the StormLight are not compatible with light switch receptacles, so the product will not function properly.
What are the features of StormLight?
The StormLight is simple to install in place of your existing outlet cover plates, and produces attractive pathway lighting automatically from dusk-to-dawn. It also contains a rechargeable internal battery backup to illuminate emergency lighting in the event of a power outage. The StormLight will automatically draw power from the outlet to charge/recharge the battery when there is power.
How long does it take to charge the StormLight?
It typically takes about 2 hours for a full charge. If the StormLight is properly installed, it will recharge the internal battery whenever there is power to the outlet.
Is the installation process complicated?
No, StormLight is designed for easy installation. Simply unscrew and remove your existing outlet cover plate, then snap on the StormLight and replace the screw. Please be sure to turn off power before installing the StormLight, for your safety.
Can I use StormLight outdoors?
StormLight is not rated for outdoor use.
What should I do if my StormLight isn’t working properly?
Check the installation and ensure it’s securely connected. Ensure there are no obstructions that could be pushing the prongs off the box. If issues persist, refer to the troubleshooting guide included with your product or contact customer support.
Are there different color options available?
Currently the StormLight is available in white, light almond, ivory and black.
