They might not happen often, but when blackouts happen, they can be a nightmare. There is nothing worse than all of the electricity going in your area and not having anything work in your home because of it. What can we do to best avoid this? Well, the best thing we can do it to be properly prepared for it. A blackout is one of those things that seems like it doesn’t matter, but when it happens, we all wish we would have done something sooner. In this blog, we will provide you with some effective gadgets that will help you prepare for any electricity blackout.

Measuring just over 11cm in length, this Duracell torch is the perfect compact solution to any blackout issues that you might be experiencing.

Hama PD10-HD 10000 MAh Power Pack
The power bank is the ultimate answer to the question ‘how will I charge my phone if the electricity goes?’. Let’s be honest, if the electricity is going to go, it will go when our phones are on 10%, because of course it will… that is why having a power bank like the Hama PD10 at your disposal is such a godsend during a blackout. With Qualcomm Quick Charge 3.0 enabled, it will not only charge your phone in times of need but will do it quickly. This is a must-have for any home. We also love this gadget for travelling, no more hunting for a spare plug at the airport!

Are you a lover of the radio and all things vintage or retro? Then look no further than this, the Roberts 1950’s FM Radio. It is battery or mains operated, so can be used without electricity. It has a stunning vintage design, tone control, an easy-to-carry design, and includes outstanding sound quality too. So if you are sitting there in the darkness and want to listen to the radio (perhaps looking for that 1940s/50s vibe?) then this is what you need.
JBL Charge 5 Wireless Portable Speaker
Who doesn’t love a little music during a power outage? It is always important to keep spirits high, no matter how dark times ahead (or the room you are in) might be. That is why the JBL charge 5 is such a good purchase. When charged, it allows seamless Bluetooth connection, and with more than 20 hours of playback with one charge, you can dance the day or night away without needing any power. What’s even better is that you can charge your phone using the speaker too, so if your power bank is dead or you don’t have one at your disposal, you can always use the Charge 5. Charge by name, charge by nature.
