The Light at the end of the Load Shedding Tunnel
South Africans are a very resilient and adaptable people. With Eskom announcing Stage 6 of Load Shedding in 2022, South Africans have found ways to work around it, including rearranging their daily routines according to their respective grid schedule. Power cuts are an inescapable and necessary occurrence if a national blackout is to be avoided.
When you know exactly when your power will be cut, you will ensure all devices are fully charged, you’ll prepare your meals in advance, and you’ll complete any electricity-dependant activities before or after you’re set to have your power cut. But fact remains, you are still in the dark. If you are like most South Africans and cannot afford to purchase a generator to power your entire home, a durable and portable battery powered light is the most important of all tips and tricks given to those trying to cope with load shedding.
A South African Medical Research Council estimates that more than 1.5million of the country’s population suffer from burn related injuries and a majority are caused by the burning of candles. It is safer and smarter to invest in a battery powered light
