Description
An emergency kit for a power cut: wind-up radio, head torch, flameless tea lights and foil blankets, the basics sorted for a flat or a couple before a winter storm takes the lights out.
What's in the kit, and why
- 1 × Wind-Up and Solar AM/FM Radio with Torch and USB: news and updates when power and mobile data are down; wind it or charge it in daylight, no batteries to run out.
- 1 × Rechargeable LED Head Torch with Motion Sensor, USB-C: hands-free light for cooking, stairs and the fuse box; wave to switch it on.
- 2 × Foil emergency blanket: folds to hanky size; keeps body heat in if the heating is off or you are stuck in the car.
- 1 × LED tea lights, pack of 6: flameless light for each room; no fire risk, safe around children and pets.
