Stuff We Want: GE 4-in-1 Power Failure Night Light, the Flashlight That Finds You First

Google Trends has nor easter this weekend rising, with nor'easter and hatteras island showing up alongside it. If you're on the East Coast, that usually means wind, rain and a decent chance the lights flicker at the worst possible moment.

Here's the practical move for a storm weekend: make sure the first thing that happens when the power goes out isn't you feeling your way down the hall, phone flashlight in one hand, stubbed toe in the other.

The GE 4-in-1 Power Failure Night Light plugs into a regular outlet and quietly does four jobs. It's a night light that turns on at dusk and off at dawn. It's a power failure light that switches on by itself the moment the electricity cuts out. Pull it off the wall and fold the prongs in, and it's a handheld flashlight. Set it down and it's a tabletop task light.

GE lists the output at 10 lumens as a night light, 5 in power failure mode, 20 as a task light and 40 as a flashlight. It's a soft glow, not a stadium light, which is what you want at 2 AM in a dark kitchen.

The battery is built in and rechargeable. It charges while it's plugged in, so there are no disposable batteries to hunt down mid-storm. The LED stays cool to the touch, and the light is UL certified.

The best part is how boring it is until you need it. It sits in the outlet doing night light duty for months. Then one night the house goes dark and the one light that's already on is the one you planted in the hallway back in October. Future you says thanks.

Who it's for: anyone in storm country, renters who can't wire anything in, and households with a dark hallway or staircase.

Skip it if you're looking for a heavy-duty work light or a lantern to run all night. This is the "find the real flashlight" light.

The verdict: hand-picked for nor'easter weekend prep. Plug a few in along the hall, stairs and kitchen, and the next outage starts with light instead of a scramble.
