When it comes to flashlights, lanterns and emergency lighting products, Dorcy is my husband’s favorite go-to brand. He’s been buying Dorcy products for several years, even before we started reviewing them & featuring them here on the blog. In his opinion, the have the BEST …
Let’s face it, we all have to go outside when it’s dark. For some of us, that means running errands & going to the store, for other people it may mean walking the dog or picking up the kids from after-school activities. Some people may …
Are you ready for an emergency or any kind of natural disaster? If not, you should be! Emergencies can happen at any time, any place and to anyone. They can last for a short time or drag on for weeks, sometimes for months. The best way to get through any type of emergency is to be prepared.
* Complimentary Products Received for Review.
Let me introduce you to Life+Gear who makes a line of STORMPROOF portable lights that will help you to always be prepared. We’re featuring three different products from this line and in our honest opinion, you should have all three! Plus, holiday gift-giving is just around the corner and they would make great gifts for those on your gift-giving list.
The Life+Gear STORMPROOF Crank Flashlight and Radio is a must-have when the power goes out. It features a one minute crank that creates 10 minutes of light or FM radio. You can quickly charge it up with the built-in USB cable and it has a battery power switch to preserve your battery power. You can get up to 10 hours of low mode flashlight power on a full charge.
What’s makes this item ultra-cool is that you can also use it to charge up your cellphone in an emergency. You’ll switch the battery power switch on and bottom of crank light to the off position. Turn your cellphone off and then plug the USB cord from the phone into the USB output on the crank light. Crank for four minutes for one minute of talk time. How cool is that? Totally cool.
The Life+Gear Search Light 500 Lumens Flashlight with Emergency Signaling can be used everyday or just during emergencies. It features 4 different modes: High Light (500 lumens), Low Light (50 lumens), Red Flasher and the Beacon. It’s made out of rugged aluminum, is water resistant, has emergency signaling and has a beam distance of 790 feet.
We spend a lot of time outdoors and one of the things that really impressed us with this one is that it has a built-in rescue beacon (a light) that can be seen up to 2.75 miles away!!! Plus, it has a built-in emergency whistle, an included carabiner and the 4 AA batteries are included too. It’s ready to go right out of the package! This is a definite must-have (in our book) if you spend time outdoors (skiing, hiking, boating, hunting, rock climbing, fishing, camping, etc.).
The Life+Gear STORMPROOF Signal Light has 4 different lighting modes: High Light (120 lumens), Low Light (10 lumens), High + Glow and the Safety Flasher. It’s shock-proof, has an extended run time and comes and is water proof. It comes with 4 AA batteries too!
As a woman…I really like this one because of it’s simple features and it’s slender profile. It fits comfortably in my hands and its compact size is perfect for stowing it away in a glove box, trunk of the car, backpack, handbag, tool box, etc. Hubby has been dragging this one around in his tool box when he goes out at night to do local HVAC calls. He loves it too.

Years ago you had to purchase a lantern, spotlight and a flashlight all separately. Thanks to the technology that you have today, you can get all three of these features + more in one single unit. What makes this technology even better is that battery-operated …
Let’s face it…we all need flashlights, glow sticks, lanterns and other type’s of portable lighting products. We need them for weather emergencies, for home improvement projects, some people need them for work and we need them for when we’re outside at night. In my honest …
During the summertime we spend a lot of time outdoors enjoying our swimming pool, playing backyard games, entertaining guests on our deck and working on our gardens. We love being outside in the sunshine and breathing-in the fresh air.
However, one nasty problem that comes with being outdoors are the nasty bites you get from mosquitoes! Mosquito bites are painful, itchy and mosquitoes can transmit diseases that none of us want to deal with. With that said, you can now protect your outdoor spaces from mosquitoes with the Zapplight!
The Zapplight is the World’s 1st LED Light Bulb With Bug Zapper and it can be used indoors or outdoors!
Product Features:
– Certified – UL, TUV, CE certifications
– Scientifically proven to be effective by University study
– Modern/ innovative design
– Can replace a household’s ordinary light bulbs
– Energy efficiency
– Internationally patented
– Safe/ non-toxic
– Each Zapplight protects 500 square feet of indoor or outdoor space
– Revolutionary approach to Mosquito crisis – modern technological gadget
We were provided with a complimentary Zapplight to try out for all of you and installed the light bulb/bug zapper in one of our outdoor light sockets that’s on our back deck. Unlike most decks, our’s has a roof, but the sides are not enclosed. When we sit out on the deck to entertain or after enjoying the pool, the mosquitoes can eat us alive!
During the summertime we love being outside, but we don’t enjoy the bug bites that come along with it. Last year it was extremely bad and I had to visit my doctor several times to have infected bug bites treated. This year, I am determined to keep those nasty mosquitoes away!
My husband installed the Zapplight on the very first day that we received it. Later that evening we got into the pool and then afterwards we hung out on the deck while he was grilling us our dinner. The first thing that I noticed was that I wasn’t constantly swatting at bugs to stay away. We were out on the deck for a good 90 minutes and usually, I don’t last that long due to the bugs attacking me. I was very impressed on night one!
Over the past 10 days we’ve spent some considerable amount of time out on the back deck and I have to admit, we’ve rarely gotten bit! While I can’t say it’s worked 100% of the time, I can tell you that it’s worked for us at least 90% of the time. By that I mean this…the week before when I was out on the deck I got nailed 7 times in 30 minutes by mosquitoes. In the past 10 days since we’ve installed the Zapplight…I’ve gotten nailed twice! Yes, ONLY twice in ten days! That’s a considerable improvement!
I absolutely LOVE our new Zapplight and the job that it’s doing!

Seven years ago we made the decision to purchase an older home from another member in our family. The home was built in the early 1960’s and the previous home owners did very little to modernize it over the years. The house is quite spaceous …
One Fur All Pet House Candles are a big hit in our pet-filled house. I’ve used two of their full-sized candles, the Falling Leaves scent from their autumn collection and the Gingerbread Cookies scent from their winter collection. And now that spring has officially arrived, …
