Storm Éowyn showed it. Could you manage 72 hours?
On 24 January 2025, Storm Éowyn swept across Ireland and the UK. Around one million homes and businesses lost power, many of them for days, in the middle of winter. No light, no heating, and for many no idea how long it would last.
That is why the UK Government's Be Ready campaign says: being ready for 3 days helps you manage while support reaches those most in need. Most people only find out what's missing once it's dark: the torch with flat batteries, the phone on 5 %, the cold creeping into the living room.
The 72-Hour Blackout Kit puts light, news, power and warmth in one place, so your household can get through those 72 hours.
Phone dead, no news? Power-Safe PRO keeps you connected.
The lights go out, your phone is on 5 % and the network is down. You sit in the dark with no idea what is happening outside or how long it will last.
- AM/FM radio: news and warnings, even when the mobile network and TV are down
- Built-in LED torch: light at the press of a button
- 2,000 mAh battery with USB output: charges your phone or the headlamp
- Recharges itself: by hand crank, with the built-in solar panel in daylight, or by cable once the power is back
- Only about 230 g: the size of a smartphone (13.1 × 6.3 × 5.1 cm)
Light, news and a charged phone, from one small device.
Both hands needed in the dark? The Original Headlamp lights the way.
Cooking on the gas hob, finding the fuse box, getting down the stairs with a child, checking on a neighbour: with a torch in one hand, everything takes twice as long.
- 230° wide-angle COB light strip: lights up everything in front of you
- XPE spot beam: reaches up to 50 m
- Wave sensor: switch it on and off with a wave of your hand
- 5 light modes incl. red light: won't dazzle anyone while the kids sleep
- Only about 60 g: feels like a headband, adjustable for kids and adults
- 1,200 mAh battery: full via USB-C in under 90 minutes, also from the Power-Safe PRO
- IPX4: splash-proof
Light goes where you look, and both hands stay free.
Heating off, the house getting cold? The HeatSafe sleeping bag keeps you warm.
Without power, most homes lose their heating. The rooms cool down fast, and by the second night it is properly cold.
- Reflective Mylar: holds in your own body heat
- Wind- and waterproof material
- Ultralight: about 150 g, 200 × 90 cm, packs down small
- Ready in seconds: unroll it and slip in
- Roomy cut: enough space for warm clothes
- Versatile: also works as a blanket or poncho, and it is reusable
Warm through the night, with no power at all.
Can't stay in a sleeping bag all day? The ThermoShield Pro heated vest keeps you warm on the move.
Even without power there are things to do: making food, moving around a cold house, stepping outside to check the street. A sleeping bag can't come with you.
- Warm in seconds: one press of the button on the chest
- 15 heating zones: across chest, back, shoulders and belly
- 3 levels: blue 38 °C, white 45 °C, red 55 °C

- Thin: fits under any jacket
- Washable: take out the power bank, then machine wash at 30 °C
- Sizes M to 6XL in this kit
Warmth that moves with you. In the Complete kit.
The Be Ready checklist. Ticked off in one parcel.
The UK Government's Be Ready checklist names four things for 3 days. Here is how each kit covers them:
- Torch: Power-Safe PRO and The Original Headlamp (Essential, Warm, Complete)
- Wind-up radio: Power-Safe PRO AM/FM radio (Essential, Warm, Complete)
- Charged power bank: Power-Safe PRO 2,000 mAh battery (Essential, Warm, Complete)
- Blankets, sleeping bags, warm clothing: HeatSafe sleeping bag (Warm, Complete) plus ThermoShield Pro heated vest (Complete)
Add water, food and medicines yourself, and keep everything together in one place.
Your questions, answered
Essential covers light, radio and phone power for a short power cut. Warm adds the HeatSafe sleeping bag for when the heating goes off. Complete also adds the ThermoShield Pro heated vest with its own 10,000 mAh power bank, for long and cold outages.
Yes. The Power-Safe PRO has a built-in 2,000 mAh battery with a USB output. You recharge it with the solar panel, the hand crank on the back or, when the power is on, by cable.
The ThermoShield Pro comes with its own 10,000 mAh power bank in the Complete kit. It lasts about:
- High (red): 2.5 to 3.5 hours
- Medium (white): 4.5 to 5.5 hours
- Low (blue): 7.5 to 8.5 hours
You can also plug in any standard USB power bank.
The vest comes in sizes M to 6XL. The sizes are not standard UK sizes, so choose by the size chart in the product images (last image in the gallery). Chest/length: M 108/66 cm, L 112/68 cm, XL 116/70 cm, 2XL 120/72 cm, 3XL 124/74 cm, 4XL 128/76 cm, 5XL 132/78 cm, 6XL 136/80 cm. Between two sizes? Take the larger one, then it sits comfortably over a jumper.
Yes, for every item: the Power-Safe PRO in red or black, the HeatSafe sleeping bag in carrot orange or olive green, and the heated vest in black or blue. Your choices are saved with your order and everything is packed together in one parcel.
The Power-Safe PRO recharges itself with the hand crank on the back or its solar panel in daylight. Its built-in 2,000 mAh battery charges your phone or The Original Headlamp by USB. The ThermoShield Pro heated vest (Complete) runs on its own 10,000 mAh power bank, so charge it fully while you still have power; the run times per heat level are in the answer above.
