Today, we’ll show you step-by-step how to build a light that turns on automatically when the power goes out! https://300mpg.org/2023/04/03/ryobi-automatic-emergency-light/
Please click SHOW MORE!
This is a project to use existing power-tool batteries I already have to create a light which turns on automatically during power-outages. It can also be turned on manually to simply use it as a flashlight.
Blog post with lots more details!
The LED light is one designed to run on a range of DC voltage inputs, including 12 and 24VDC. That’s perfect for our 18V Ryobi Battery.

The power meter I was using to show wattage is a "Kill-a-Watt" style, but a different brand name. I like it because it holds energy usage info after being removed from wall power: https://amzn.to/3LYuReZ
