Bell + Howell offers a wide range of innovative consumer home products, including solar lighting, automotive accessories, tactical flashlights, and household electronics.
Bell + Howell is a historic American brand with a legacy of innovation dating back to motion picture technology. Today, the brand lends its name to a diverse portfolio of consumer products designed to simplify everyday life. The current product lineup includes the popular 'Bionic' series of solar outdoor lighting, ultrasonic pest repellers, tactical flashlights, dash cams, and household power solutions like outlet extenders.
While the original company focuses on industrial automation, the Bell + Howell consumer products found in retail stores are manufactured and distributed by licensed partners, primarily Emson (E. Mishan & Sons) for home goods and Elite Brands for optical electronics. These products are known for their practical, 'As Seen on TV' functionality, offering affordable solutions for home improvement, automotive care, and personal electronics.
