Here is an excerpt from the instructions that will answer many of the questions people naturally have about the bulbs that are not adequately addressed in the overview:
1. Screw your LyfeLite bulbs into any lamp or light fixture.
2. Turn the lamp or light fixture ON just as you normally would.
3. Leave the lamp or light fixture ON for 8 hours to fully charge the
battery. The battery can be charged hundreds of times after being
used with power outages.
4. For best results DO NOT mix LyfeLite bulbs with other types of
bulbs in the same light fixture. They might not work properly
together causing the LyfeLite bulbs to remain on even when you
turn the light switch off.
While your LyfeLite bulbs are in use, you are charging the internal battery that will act
as a power source the next time you have a power outage. During a power outage,
our revolutionary emergency lighting lasts up to 8 hours, and you can still control your
LyfeLite bulbs by using your light switch to turn them on and off. Very simple, but
extremely reliable and convenient!
As an added convenience, we have included 2 Power Caps with every 4-Pack of
LyfeLite bulbs. To use them, just screw the Power Cap onto the bottom of your charged
LyfeLite bulb and hang it anywhere you need additional light. You can turn your
LyfeLite bulb on and off by pressing the button on the bottom of the Power Cap. Please,
don’t forget to recharge the bulbs after use.
Here are some important details about the Smart Chip inside of your LyfeLite bulbs:
The Smart Chip detects a power outage as soon as it occurs and activates
your LyfeLite bulb’s battery to provide up to 8 hours of emergency light.
The Smart Chip protects the LyfeLite bulb’s battery and prevents it from
overheating or overcharging.
The Smart Chip can also tell the difference between a power outage, and
when you turn your light switch off or unplug your light fixture. This
allows you to use your LyfeLite bulbs just like standard bulbs, even
during a power outage.
