Amerelle 5.5 In. Moon Lite, Model No. 73057 Review

When I remember my years of active service commuting to the office, some of the worst memories involve those mornings when I would wake up to find our power off.  As often as not, there hadn't been a storm or anything else by way of rational explanation but there we would be, inexplicably with no lights at all.  For those of us who had to shower and apply make-up, etc. in order to be on our way early, this was difficult because our bathrooms in this building have no windows.  The fan over the sink may be good for other things but not for admitting daylight.  It is for desperate situations like this that someone has designed and manufactured Amerelle Moon Lite, Model No. 73057.  This product consists of two white circular gadgets resembling shallow inverted dishes.  This model comes in a $4.97 twin-pack of 5.5" lights which run on four AA batteries each, not included.

The premise is simple -- you load batteries into the Moon Lites and either hang them on a nail or screw on a wall or better yet, just place one flat on a table, desk or shelf out of the way in case of emergency.  Where will you be when the lights go out? -- gently pressing your Moon Lite which will generate enough light to do almost anything until the crisis is over.  (They are also excellent means of illumination for dark closets or pantries.)

MY VIEWPOINT:

The best endorsement I can give Amerelle Moon Lites is that I have used them for nearly 20 years already with great success.  Because I only depend upon them for emergencies, I haven't even had to change the batteries yet and would not have had to buy new ones except that I was using a gift card in Home Depot the other day and decided to stock up on reinforcements to have on hand just in case ... 

Of course, it goes without saying that -- now my commuting days are over and I have scads of Moon Lites on hand -- we may never have early morning power outages again but you never know!
