AMAZING!! We just started year 17 reviewing gadgets on The Giz Wiz Show! (The first Giz Wiz Show – called The Daily Giz Wiz back then – was February 20th 2006!) If it wasn’t for our loyal supporters, the Giz Wiz Show would be gone.

Are Wireless Outlets Finally Here??
With Jackonlux LED bulb you can certainly make it look like it is. As you’ll see on this week’s show, the bulb comes with a little plastic gadget that looks like a mini outlet. Plug your lamp into it and yes, it will light! That’s because the JackonLux bulb is a combination of a regular led bulb and a power outage light.
WITH JACKONLUX LED BULB YOU CAN CERTAINLY MAKE IT LOOK LIKE IT IS. AS YOU’LL SEE ON THIS WEEK’S SHOW, THE BULB COMES WITH A LITTLE PLASTIC GADGET THAT LOOKS LIKE A MINI OUTLET. PLUG YOUR LAMP INTO IT AND YES, IT WILL LIGHT! THAT’S BECAUSE THE JACKONLUX BULB IS A COMBINATION OF A REGULAR LED BULB AND A POWER OUTAGE LIGHT. IT WORKS AS REGULAR LED BULB WHEN CONNECTED TO 120V VOLTAGE, I MISSPOKE IN MY VIDEO ON THIS WEEK’S SHOW WHEN I SAID IT WILL LIGHT ON AUTOMATICALLY IF THERE IS A POWER OUTAGE. IT WILL LIGHT IF IT’S ALREADY ON WHEN THERE’S A POWER OUTAGE OR WHEN YOU TURN IT ON AND THE HOUSE POWER IS OFF. THIS SAVES THE BATTERY WHEN IT’S OFF AND THE POWER GOES OUT WHILE YOU’RE AWAY. BEING AN LED BULB IT USES JUST 9 WATTS, BUT THE LUMINS ARE EQUAL TO A 60W BULB. I BOUGHT THE SOFT WHITE 3000K VERSION. CHARGING TIME IS 8-10 HOURS AND THAT HAPPENS ALL THE TIME YOU’RE USE THE BULB AS A REGULAR LIGHT. ONCE IT’S FULLY CHARGED, CHARGING AUTOMATICALLY STOPS. IT’S A STANDARD E26 BASE, JUST LIKE A REGULAR LIGHT BULB YOU NORMALLY USE. INCLUDED WITH THE BULB IS SCREW ON CAP. REMOVE THE BULB FROM A LAMP, SCREW ON THE CAP AND CONTROL ON / OFF BY THE BUILT-IN SWITCH. STRANGELY YOU CAN ALSO USE FINGERS OR A WET TISSUE ON THE BULB BASE TO TURN IT ON AND OFF. YES, I TRIED THAT TOO AND IT WORKS. WHEN THERE’S A POWER OUTAGE, IF THE SWITCH IS ON, THE BULB WILL STAY ON AS EMERGENCY LED LIGHT, IF SWITCH OFF, THE BULB WILL BE OFF, BUT YOU CAN TURN IT ON AND OFF.
Note: It may not work properly when connected to a powerstrip. But when it was on and plugged directly into an outlet it immediately stayed on when I tripped the circuit breaker. It has to be on to stay on. If it’s off, it will stay off until you turn it on. That way if the power goes out while you’re not home and it’s off, the battery will not be wasting power. I like these a lot. I bought the two pack for $17.99 on Amazon, so that was $9 each. That price can change at any time.
