Product description
Amazon.ca Product Description
Better and brighter, the 636V2 brings you the best in Ideal Security’s automatic, long-lasting rechargeable LED emergency lights for power outages. Featuring three modes, you can customize your use of the 636V2 to fit the bill in any darkened situation. Whether you’re in need of a standard emergency light with the “Emergency” mode, a gentle accent light with our “Night Light” mode, or an “Auto” mode for the best of both worlds, you’ll find yourself in good hands with the 636V2’s optimized and improved performance. Between the efficient low-power setting which offers 80 lumens and 48 hours of light or the intense high-power setting which emits 140 lumens and 21.5 hours of light, you can adjust the brightness to suit your needs. The 636V2 can be fully charged in 24 hours. Where the 636V2 shines is in its capability to automatically brighten your space in your time of need. Once you plug in the 636V2 with its 10 ft. USB-C charging cable and set it to either the Auto or Emergency mode, as soon as a power outage occurs the 636V2 will detect the loss of power and instantly illuminate your surroundings. Its sleek casing comes with an integrated handle, letting you carry the lightweight emergency light to shine your path. The integrated keyholes allow you to mount the light on any wall. And if you’re torn between having a stationary or portable light, the casing’s stable stand lets you set the emergency light on any shelf, table, or flat surface. When unexpected power outages and electrical failures strike, you can trust in the 636V2 to be your beacon of light in the dark. This light has been designed as a residential product. It is not a CSA/UL certified emergency light that may be required in some environments. Check with your local work-safety associations if 636V2 is approved for your application.
From the Manufacturer
Always Ready When You Need It Don’t leave your family in the dark. Be ready for even extended power failures with LIGHTS OUT, a long lasting, rechargeable, LED safety light. Simply plug it in to any standard electrical outlet, choose your settings, and you’ll be ready when the lights go out. Long lasting We combined a powerful, rechargeable 6 volt battery with high intensity and energy-saving LEDs. The result is an emergency back-up light that lasts up to 20 hours using both lamps, and up to 40 hours when set to a single lamp. The battery can be recharged over and over and the LED bulbs will last for years. The “on-off” switch lets you turn off the lights when not needed, to conserve battery lifeduring a power failure. Many similar-looking models cannot be turned off, beware of imitations! Portable and versatile A photocell-controlled night light feature can provide soft lighting at night or in a dark area. Place the unit on a shelf or mount it on the wall in areas where safety lighting may be required. The detachable AC adapter and the built-in handle make the LIGHTS OUT a great alternative to a flashlight for use as a hands-free work light in your shop, under the sink, or when doing auto repairs. And its long battery life makes it perfect for camping and backyard use (not for use in wet environments). Maintenance Free Keep it plugged in with the UL approved adapter and the light will always be ready when you need it. The battery will last for many years if properly cared for, and is replaceable. We recommend using the TEST button on a monthly basis to ensure that the battery charge is holding. LIGHTS OUT If left unplugged for extended periods, even in the off position, the battery will slowly drain. Unplugged, the battery will hold power for 3 months. If left unplugged, the battery should be recharged every 3 months for 72 hours. LIGHTS OUT is for indoor installation use only. LIGHTS OUT is backed by a one-year limited warranty.

- Reviewed in Canada on April 11, 2023Verified PurchaseI've had my emergency light for 10 years and its just now starting to dim. The hydro here goes out quite often and for long periods of time. Maybe the constant use of my light extended the life of the battery, I don't know. But there is no burnt circuit board or any other damage. This is an awesome product, keeps me feeling safe in my building when the power goes out and provides instant light. All it needs is a $26.00 battery, no big deal.
- Reviewed in Canada on March 25, 2016Pattern Name: LightStyle: 12 x .05W LEDVerified PurchaseFirst lets get the CONS out of the way.
The lights are listed as having 6 LED's in each (12 total) , but there are only 5 per head.
Okay,... that's it. for the CONS.
The light was well packaged, and while the battery was initially dead on delivery, after charging for a day, and testing it in a dark room, all I can say its the light output is far better than I expected.
However I still will have to wait for a full charge (72 hours recommended) before I can comment on battery life per charge.
The unit is plastic, but seems well made, the heads are easily positioned and have tightening adjustments if needed.
A bit lacking as far as the instructions, but they are not that difficult to figure out.
The night-light function seems to run the lights at a lower level than power-out mode, though not really sure if I will ever use the night-light feature.
But it's easily disabled by a switch.
The back of the unit offers several mounting options including direct mounting over a junction box, but not really sure how that would work as the power connector is on the side of the case , and might require some modification inside the unit.
But it's just as usable sitting on a bookshelf as wall mounted
The (72") power cord could be a bit longer though, especially as most people would mount this high in a room, and unless there is an outlet directly below the unit, you may have to use an extension cord or splice in a piece of wire to reach.
However there is a wall wart transformer so the cable only carries low voltage, and splicing would be relatively safe, although polarity MUST be correct.And I do like that it uses the more standard 6volt lead acid battery that are easily available. Though hopefully the battery should last about 5 years without any problems.
(others use proprietary lower voltage batteries, that will probably cost more to replace than the unit cost to buy)
VERY HAPPY with this, and may buy another,. although not until the price drops back to the level it was when I bought it. (under $50)
- Reviewed in Canada on May 27, 2025Pattern Name: LightStyle: 12 x .05W LEDVerified PurchaseThis emergency light works as expected, but the lights are not very bright. They generate just enough light to see in complete darkness during a power failure.
- Reviewed in Canada on September 1, 2015Pattern Name: LightStyle: 12 x .05W LEDVerified PurchaseThese are nifty little lights! Made of plastic but still fairly good quality. The lights can be turned and angled and aimed to light different areas in any room, the lights are small but they still put out good emergency lighting. Great for stairways, mechanical/electical rooms, and living areas in your house. Compact and easy to install and the batteries can power the lights for extended power outages. I bought 4 of them and they are sure handy to have during power outages.
- Reviewed in Canada on October 20, 2021Verified PurchaseTHIS IS A GREAT EMERGENCY LIGHT. I HAVE HAD ONE FOR YEARS IN THE CRAWSPACE TO ILLUMINATE AND ALLOW ACCESS TO THE SUMP PUMP DURING POWER FAILURE. I DECIDED TO GET ANOTHER ONE FOR THE HOUSE. WE PLACED IT ON THE KITCHEN COUNTER TOP. IT EVEN LOOKS NICE. THANK YOU FOR A GREAT PROUCT. I AM SURPRISED HOW MANY YEARS THE LEAD ACID BATTERY HAS LASTED, MUCH LONGER THAN THE LITHIUM IRON BATTERIES.

Reviewed in Canada on March 13, 2021Verified PurchaseUn beau produit, petit et discret. Facile à accrocher au mur. Il éclaire vraiment bien et longtemps. Met quelques secondes à s'allumer lorsque le courant est coupé (+/- 10 secondes) mais rien de dramatique.
En revanche, j'ai appuyé sur le bouton test aujourd'hui et il ne s'allume plus.
J'ouvre alors pour voir le modèle de batterie pour en acheter une nouvelle. (Celle-ci fait un bruit de maracas quand on la secoue).
Mais je remarque la couleur du circuit imprimé qui est tout noirci, grillé. J'ai acheté le produit il y a environ 2 ans et il est déjà défectueux. Pour un produit sensé avoir un usage de ''sécurité" j'ai peur qu'il ne mette le feu chez moi ! Je vais devoir en acheter un autre, probablement d'une autre marque. Dommage, car j'aime beaucoup son design.

- Reviewed in Canada on October 22, 2023Pattern Name: LightStyle: 12 x .05W LEDVerified PurchaseSuper long battery life. Previous unit with same 6 volt battery type but Incandescent light heads would have a battery life of 30 min.-not very helpful for an extended power outage. Note not rated by CSA or UL so probably can not be used in a public building.
- Reviewed in Canada on March 5, 2021Pattern Name: LightStyle: 12 x .05W LEDVerified PurchaseNot bright enough to live on it, but more than enough to navigate at night and during shortage. The batteries allow for more than a day of light! Impressive. It adjusts to the level of ambient light to make sure there is always enough light. Very easy to install. I unplug it once every 2 months for a whole day not to kill the batteries over time from overcharging. We bought it for our son that has his room in the basement, he finds it very reassuring.

Larry HurstReviewed in the United States on June 23, 20155.0 out of 5 stars Super light for night time power outages!!
Pattern Name: LightStyle: 12 x .05W LEDVerified PurchaseThis is an excellent light for anyone wanting immediate light when the power goes out. I live in West Virginia and we lose power several times a year, sometimes just for a few minutes and other times, for hours. I have four of these positioned throughout the house and when the power does go out, we still have emergency lighting in a matter of seconds. I would recommend these for everyone so that you are never caught in the dark.They will run for many hours, at least 20, and should last through the outage. You can turn them off if the power goes out during the day and back on again when needed if you are still without electricity. I definitely recommend one for the bathroom as there is nothing worse than taking a shower and suddenly being in the dark. A great buy for the money!
D. AramakiReviewed in the United States on July 19, 20205.0 out of 5 stars well-designed product with long battery life, also useful for portable lighting
Verified PurchaseI was gifted a pair of these by a friend. The power doesn't go out often where I live, but it finally did for the first time after I set them up and it's amazing how much light they give off, even in the half power mode (there are 6 LEDs and the device can be set up to use either 3 or 6, so as to improve battery life). I liked them so much that after the recent power outage, I bought another two. These give a lot of peace of mind; I'd hate to be in the shower at night or stuck upstairs and have to deal with pitch darkness.
These are also bright enough that I can set them up so I can actually do things during a power outage at night, like read, or even just use my notebook or tablet for a while, since I really don't like using those devices in pitch black.
The other benefit is that these have a lot of utility for portable lighting situations. For example, my kitchen sink faucet got a bit loose and required some tightening underneath with a basin wrench. It was so nice to just pop one of these into the sink cabinet and have the whole workarea be completely lit up.
petitmReviewed in the United States on February 21, 20235.0 out of 5 stars it's bright - lights up big area when power goes out.
Verified PurchaseI've had this light for years on my plant shelf in my foyer, use it as a night light. It's awesome when the power goes out, it lights up my entire front hallway/foyer and upstairs. I'm looking to get more of these for other locations. reasonably priced and so far for me works like a dream.
LNHReviewed in the United States on December 20, 20245.0 out of 5 stars Count on this!
Pattern Name: LightStyle: 12 x .05W LEDVerified PurchaseWhen you lose power, this is the thing to have. Comes on when the power goes off and lights the way. At 78 with limited vision (I only have one eye due to carotid problems) this is the perfect device in a darkened house
Robert G.Reviewed in the United States on December 11, 20194.0 out of 5 stars Great product but beware of this.
Verified PurchaseI bought this almost three years ago. It worked great. However the light has stopped working recently. I threw it away and will buy a new one. I tried to replace the 6 volt battery but I could not get it out of the case without damaging it. There is no way to tell if the problem is (or was) the battery. A problem with the circuit board could be the issue. It's not worth sending it in for repair. The cost plus the shipping would negate any savings. Just buy it again. I did keep the charger.
