Using Battery Powered Lighting for Emergencies Instead of a Generator Can Save Homeowners $1,000s

After Hurricane Irene and Tropical Storm Lee battered the eastern United States, millions of people were left without electricity, some for up to a week. Consequently, many homeowners rushed to hardware stores and big box stores to purchase an expensive generator just to keep the lights running in their homes.

According to Datexx President Mei Noguchi, generators are good for powering a refrigerator or furnace, but are much too expensive and inconvenient to use for emergency lighting. “Our Sentina line of affordable plug-in, rechargeable or battery-powered LED lighting solutions can ensure days of light for your family and your home,” Noguchi said. “Why spend thousands of dollars on a generator when you can outfit your home with Sentina LED lighting for less than $100?”

Available at www.datexx.com, the Sentina LED-92M four-way emergency light is just that: four lights in one unit for only $35. Fully charged to support motion, darkness, and power outage sensors, the Sentina LED-92M light simply plugs into a wall socket and performs for pennies per day. The light activates only when approached, in darkness, or in a power outage. At all other times the light remains off. When disconnected from the socket, the light will also perform as an emergency flash light for up to eight hours.
