Product Overview
The Neporal 4-Pack Emergency Rechargeable Light Bulbs function as standard LED bulbs, automatically charging during daily use. In the event of a power failure, these 15W (80W equivalent) LED bulbs will stay lit for 4-5 hours thanks to their built-in 1200mAh battery backup, provided the fixture switch is on. They are an essential tool for power outages, storms, or hurricanes, offering a reliable lighting solution for homes, camping, and tents, eliminating the need for candles or flashlights.
Each bulb comes with a portable power hook, allowing for versatile use as a handheld light or a hanging lantern. Designed with an E27/E26 base, they fit most standard lamps and fixtures. These energy-efficient bulbs provide 6000K daylight white light at 750lm, significantly reducing electricity costs.

Setup Guide
Initial Charging & Installation
To charge the bulbs, simply screw them into any standard E26/E27 light socket. The bulb will automatically begin charging when the fixture is powered on. A full charge typically takes 3 hours. Once charged, the bulb will hold its charge for up to 50 days when stored.
For installation, screw the bulb into any compatible ceiling fixture, desk lamp, table lamp, floor lamp, or vanity light with an E26/E27 screw-in base.

Portable Use
Each bulb comes with a portable power hook. To use the bulb portably, screw the bulb into the power hook. This activates the internal battery, allowing the bulb to function as a portable flashlight or hanging light source without needing to be plugged into a socket.
Operating Instructions
Normal Operation
When installed in a powered fixture, the Neporal bulb functions like a regular LED light bulb. It will turn on and off with your wall switch or lamp toggle.
Emergency Mode
In the event of a power failure, if the fixture switch is in the 'ON' position, the bulb will automatically detect the power outage and switch to its internal battery power, providing immediate illumination.

Manual Activation (Portable)
When using the bulb with the portable power hook, you can manually turn it on or off using the small button located on the side of the bulb. You can also activate the bulb by touching the base and the threads simultaneously with your fingers.

Maintenance
To maintain optimal battery health and ensure long-term performance, it is recommended to recharge the bulbs every 60 days, especially if they are stored for extended periods without use. Simply screw the bulb into any standard, non-dimmable socket and turn the lamp on to initiate charging.
Important Note: These bulbs are not compatible with dimmer switches. Using them with a dimmer switch may damage the bulb or affect its charging capabilities.
Troubleshooting
- Bulb not lighting up in emergency mode: Ensure the bulb was fully charged by being screwed into a powered socket for at least 3 hours. Verify that the light fixture switch was in the 'ON' position when the power outage occurred.
- Bulb not charging: Confirm that the socket it's screwed into is live and not connected to a dimmer switch.
- Light output is dim: Ensure the bulb is fully charged. The 1200mAh battery provides 4-5 hours of light; prolonged use in emergency mode will deplete the charge.
