Neporal MagicGlow Rechargeable Light Bulbs with Remote, 3 Colors Shift + Dimmable Battery Powered Light Bulbs, USB Rechargeable, A19 Standard Emergency LED Light Bulbs, 15W, Up to 24 Hours, 2 Pack

Okay…stay with me here people. I have a lamp in my living room that I thought was super cute and it was really like a decoration piece—we hardly used it functionally. Anyway, loved the lamp but it was hollow in the middle and the cord came straight down the middle and then the nearest outlet to plug it into was like behind the couch. So the lamp whose sole purpose in existence was to make my side table in my living room cute was actually a gross eye sore because of this cord. Soooooo. I saw a tiktok that was like “yo. Cut the cord off your lamp and get yourself a chargeable lightbulb” and my mind was blown. So I immediately hacked the cord off my lamp and then started to look for the light bulb I needed. I did buy 4 different light bulbs before coming across this one.Soooo. For anyone else who is wandering here looking for the right thing to fix the lamp they senselessly destroyed because you were zoning out on TikTok at 11pm at night, this is for you:This is light you need. It’s perfect. Just charge it up and twist it in. Has different light settings you can switch through with the remote and as long as you keep it charged you can use it during power outages which is pretty cool. Downsides: you have to maintain charge on it. I don’t use the lamp much at all so I can’t speak to how it holds up after extended use. And the remote has button batteries which with young kids I try to keep out of my house but if that’s not a concern for you—you’re good.Everybody, go cordless and get this lightbulb!

This is the second rechargeable lightbulb product I have purchased. Really like these. As the review lead stated the charging time is quicker than some and the brightness choice is great. I use these in lamps at home that are not near plugs for support or accent lighting. My favorite use is when I am camping in an area without electricity. The bulb hangers are very convenient to have light exactly where you need it. Portable at home with power failures, and remotes are always a plus.

This is a clever little product, but it has some important limitations. It really has one main purpose: to convert a normal household lamp that would normally run on utility power into a battery powered lamp or lantern that can now be periodically recharged by USB-C. On high power they get as bright as a regular light bulb, and they can be dimmed down to make the battery last longer. If you want to put this in a table lamp in your family room and run it at normal brightness for a few hours in the evening, it will do that for a couple of days before you need to recharge it. So it is for power outages, off-grid cabins, or some other situation where you can't just plug your regular lamp into the wall socket.Here is what it DEFINITELY ISN'T: a replacement for your existing light bulb that just adds the ability to run when there is no power. You can't use your existing lamp switch to turn it on or off. It will not recharge itself if the lamp is plugged into utility power. The only way to charge it is by the USB-C port on the side.Downsides: Both the touch sensitive switch and the remote control function mean the small battery in the bulb is constantly being slowly drained even when the light is off. So if you stick these in a drawer and expect them to run six months from now when the power is out, you will likely find them dead. They do need to be recharged regularly, and eventually the constant charging and discharging will kill the battery inside them and they will be ready for the landfill. I suspect a lot of the people giving this product a bad review just don't understand that.The credit card remote is line of sight only and the bulbs need to be exposed. So don't expect the remote control to work if the bulb is stuffed behind a lamp shade.They do come with little hooks to put them in spots where there is no socket to screw them into. But the whole purpose of buying something shaped like a light bulb is to screw them into an existing fixture. If you just need a camping lantern, some kind of light powered by USB etc. there are a million ways to get that. This is really a purpose-built product to convert an existing lamp or fixture to battery power.Bottom line: You buy this thing because you specifically want a regular lamp or fixture to become battery operated and USB rechargeable for some reason. If you are willing to recharge these bulbs regularly, they will do that for you at a reasonable price.
