    Fast, Easy Set-Up
    The TekPlate Backup Light Switchplate replaces the switch cover plates in your home. Because each unit runs on 4 AA batteries and contains a sensor that detects the loss of power, installation is fast and easy. There are absolutely no wires to connect. Batteries will power the TekPlate Back Light Switchplate for up to 48 hours at a time. A low-battery indicator will let you know when batteries need to be replaced. Batteries sold separately.

    Automatically-Activated
    Once you install TekPlate, you can sit back and relax, knowing that you are well prepared for a power blackout. TekPlate electrostatic sensors will immediately activate the amber LEDs in its cover plate when the power fails. Your TekPlate will produce enough light to illuminate an average size room for hours.

    Disperses Light for Maximum Safety
    This innovative solution puts the right amount of light in just the right position. TekPlate back-up lights will be located at the doorway and high enough to illuminate most rooms in your home.

    Features include:
    • No wiring required — TekPlate uses a patented sensor to detect the power loss
    • Automatic — when the electricity vanishes, the back-up lights turn on
    • Enjoy the right amount of light that lasts the entire night with bright, amber LEDs
    • Installing TekPlate is easy. All you do is unscrew the existing light-switch cover and replace it with TekPlate.


    Two Models to Choose From
    There are 2 TekPlate models for your convenience: a single switch cover plate and a double switch cover plate. The switch cover plates will fit both regular toggle switches and Decora-Style switches with the included adapter.

    I didn't have to wait long before a power failure triggered the backup lights. When the power returned, the emergency lights shut off just as quickly as they came on. No more scrambling for a flashlight!

    Within hours of installing, the backup light was put to the test with a power failure. The amber LEDs put out a suprisingly bright light--and it's instant, too.

    Works well.
    SHANNON -- applegate, OR   4/17/2004
    Absoutly wonderful. Saves us alot of hassles when the power fails; we replaced them in the entire house and we can see whenever the lights go out. Small problem with vibration, but that is fine.
