good to know! i just bought some but read some people mention certain light fixtures created a problem. I'll keep them solely for the simple 1-bulp lamps instead :)

GE was an electrical component company years before they got in to finance

Nice, I will have to get a few of these, next month. I am busy paying off some bills for the next few paydays!

Pretty cool video! I thoerize the bulb will only truly work if it senses nothing coming back through the neutral wire. But also the capacitance from the other LED could be causing it to switch off too.

Perhaps these backups are best suited towards a single socket fixture? Not sure... I wonder what two backup bulbs would be doing in the same dual socket fixture, even after the power is totally out.

Will they confuse each other and stay off? So many possibilities!

I wonder if these would work with a timer controlled switch. I would use these on my porch.

I forgot to mention that they work fine on 3 way switches.

does it work in a ceiling fan or regular light fixture on the ceiling ?

I just bought these and followed the instructions exactly. I switched the bulb to lamp mode, screwed it into a table lamp, and left the light on for over 10 hours.. I tested it by switching off the lamp, but the light did not come on automatically. Then I tried unplugging the lamp and still the light did not come on automatically. Many of the YouTube demonstrations show that you should just switch the bulb to flashlight mode while it is still in the lamp which works and is easy but it's not what the instructions say to do. The instructions say that you should put it on flashlight mode if you're unscrewing it from the fixture and using it as a flashlight and otherwise it will come on automatically, which would be better. I feel like either I'm doing something wrong or or it doesn't work quite the way it should. Any suggestions?

I had no idea that such a thing existed.

It has a lot of problems....I just bought 3 and it's very finicky...if you have a 3 light lamp it won't work...if your bathroom has more than 1 bulb...it won't turn off...even if all 3 bulbs are the same GE battery backup bulbs...it doesn't matter...they will stay on but with a little less light
