Frequently Asked Questions

If your question is not answered here, use our contact page to send it. If it's a good one, we'll add it to the list below.

Is Safe-T-Light a British Invention?

Yes! See our page on Chris Haines - inventor of this emergency safety light

Is the unit safe when the torch has been removed ?

Yes. The charging contacts that you can see in the base unit provide very low voltage - just 2.4 volts. No shock would be received by touching them.

How bright is the removable torch ?

When in its socket, the unit is similar to a night light, giving a fairly low and diffuse light from two of its three LED lights. When removed from its base unit, the third LED comes into use and a more focused beam is thrown forward.

Can the torch, when removed, be turned off in darkness ?

Yes. The back of the rechargeable torch has a three position switch: ON / AUTO / OFF. In the ON position, the removable head acts as a normal torch. In the AUTO position, the torch will only shine if the room is dark. In the OFF position, the beam does not illuminate.

Can I buy a Safe T Light for use in Europe ?

Almost!. We are in the process of producing a European 'Schuko' version of our safety light which we hope to make available at the same price during 2008.

Can Safe T Light be used for the very young and the elderly ?

The low voltage nature of the illumination make the unit safer than a conventional night light. If a normal night light lens cover is broken, the exposed bulb could give a life threatening electric shock. The bulbs in the Safe T Light present no such danger. The safety light also carries the CE mark and has passed 11 British Standards which are listed on the comprehensive instruction leaflet.

What colour does the light give ?

The normal colour is a slightly bluish white light but also included with your Safe T Light are self-adhesive colour screens to give yellow, orange or blue light.

How much does the Safe-T-Light cost to run?

A penny every three days! That's about £1.20 a year!
A 60 watt bulb uses more than 20 times as much energy as Safe-T-Light.
