Eton American Red Cross Blackout Buddy
Keeping a collection of working flashlights on hand is crucial for dealing with a power outage that hits in the middle of the night, but only if you actually know where they are and can easily find them without dangerously stumbling around in the dark. Etón’s $40 Blackout Buddy is designed to spend most of its life plugged into an outlet serving as a motion-triggered night light. But it also has a battery on board so it will keep on working when the power’s out, and when unplugged, LEDs on top instantly turn it into an easy to find handheld flashlight.
