Meet the ReadyBright System
The MB220 Controller is the 'brains' of the ReadyBright system. When plugged in to an outlet, it detects when a power outage occurs and automatically activates the ReadyBright lights within 70 feet. Every ReadyBright light requires the MB220 to work properly. (Battery included).
Meet the ReadyBright System

Power Outage Activated
The ReadyBright power outage lights provide battery backup lighting for power outages and other emergencies. The MB220 Controller/Flashlight plugs into any standard outlet and will detect when a power outage occurs. When it detects a power outage, it automatically activates the other ReadyBright lights within 70 feet. The system can also be activated via remote control.
Customizable
The ReadyBright Power Outage System is customizable. Install any variety of ReadyBright ceiling or stair lights around your home depending on what you need. The system also has separate lighting zones, so certain areas of the home can be activated via remote independently of each other. The remote control will activate lights within 70 feet.
Wireless Installation
The ReadyBright power outage lights are all battery operated and can be installed in less than 5 minutes without wires. The MB220 Controller/Flashlight contains a rechargeable lithium ion battery (included), and plugs in to any standard outlet to both recharge the battery and detect a power outage. The MB985 Ceiling Light and MB785 Stair Light use standard alkaline batteries (not included) and can be installed with the included mounting hardware.

- Reviewed in the United States on February 8, 2014I love Mr. Beams. I have these all over my house. I don't like turning on every light in the house at night, and these light up as I walk through the house. We buy AA batteries at Costco or Sam's, so the relative cost of running these is pretty cheap--I replace the batteries twice a year, and we do a LOT of night-walking around with 2 dogs who seem to want to go 'out' several times a night--and never at the same time. zzzzzzzzz
3.25.2015 - UPDATE: I had one of these units (I have 18 of these throughout my house) 'fail' after one year of use (it wouldn't come on, even if I changed the batteries). I called the Mr. Beams number on their website, explained my issue and the sent me a replacement at no charge! Very nice to have a company that stands behind the product.
- Reviewed in the United States on August 28, 2014I received MB 785, inserted new batteries, but when I unplugged the controller from the wall outlet, the emergency light, MB785, did not come on. Cleaned the contacts with a fine sandpaper, also the batteries, but still would not come on. My original ceiling emergency lights, ordered earlier, came on fine. I can only guess that something was wrong with the printed circuit inside the MB785 .
- Reviewed in the United States on June 13, 2015I usually do not purchase AA battery operated devices, as they usually let me down when they are needed, but I had a pretty bad power outage recently and I did order these and some other Mr. Beams products. As you can see, I give them 4 stars for my initial inspection and use so far on a stairwell going upstairs to my loft cave above my garage. When it is dark, it is really dark on these stairs and I am not 30 any more, such that a little tumble down them would not bother me too much, but now, it could really put a hitch in my get-along. At about 3x4 inches these are pretty much the size needed to house the batteries and components. When mounted upright with the PIR eye up, the batteries are low in the compartment below the electronics. This is important as they require Alkaline batteries, which I will use rechargeable alkaline for convenience and if any leakage occurs, it won't go into the components. I always seems to do this over time, which is why I try to not use Alkaline, failure is inevitable. So far they are a nice little light for these stairs, at night they just light for the amount of time needed to pass and then go off. The price is not prohibitive at $10 delivered free with my Amazon Prime Membership and they work also wirelessly with my own recharged batteries. Cheap enough.

- Reviewed in the United States on June 12, 2017Great for my elderly mother when the power goes out she does not have to look for a flashlight they automatically come on.
I bought second set for our home !! Fabulous product!
- Reviewed in the United States on November 1, 2014This system is super! I have sensor lights all around the house and the complete system for moments when there is an electric failure. I love it!
- Reviewed in the United States on December 18, 2015Update: After 8 months of use only 3 of 6 lights are working even with new batteries. They were great at first however now sometimes the light would stay on without any motion or they don't turn on when passing by. These were bought for our elderly mom because we were concerned about her walking around at night. Disappointing. Would not buy again..
- Reviewed in the United States on August 23, 2016Great stand by light

DBSReviewed in Canada on May 9, 20134.0 out of 5 stars Replacement for a faulty one
Got this light to replace one in a set which was faulty. Battery cover on this one seems like a better newer design. It works, but there seems to be an intermittent communication issue with the transmitter which I haven' quite figured out yet.
TerranceReviewed in Canada on July 18, 20191.0 out of 5 stars I just wanted motion activate not a remote I won't buy another....
It would not work changed batteries
Contacted Mr Beams as the last on worked great.
