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
The MB985 Ceiling Light provides bright light for closets, hallways, bathrooms, kitchens and main living areas during a power outage. Easily install the Ceiling Light in less than 5 minutes with the included mounting hardware (batteries not included). The MB985 Ceiling Light only works in conjunction with the MB220 Controller.
Meet the ReadyBright System
The MB785 Stair Light provides essential safety lighting for hallways, stairways and bathrooms during a power outage. Easily install the Stair Light in less than 5 minutes with the included mounting hardware or double-sided adhesive (batteries not included). The MB785 Stair Light only works in conjunction with the MB220 Controller.

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 August 5, 2012I live in Panama and there are very frequent power outages occurring at all hours. When an outage occurs, my computer workstation is plunged in darkness. Sure, Computer monitor provides light, but the keyboard is placed in a dark space. I installed two of these Mr. Beams lights on the underside of the shelf above my computer workstation and I get very good lighting whenever a power outage occurs and I can continue with my work uninterrupted in darkness (or even play games or read an article, waiting for power to come back on) with Mr. Beams lighting my workspace adequately..... I am very happy and satisfied.
- Reviewed in the United States on December 8, 2015I purchased this item in order to light a bathroom that has no light fixture long story. Item did not light up after trying multiple batteries, placing the item in a room with no light whatsoever or modifying the item by removing the light sensor. Very disappointed.
- Reviewed in the United States on December 16, 2015I have a set of Mr Beams MB982 Motion Sensing lights and wanted to get one more. I couldn't remember the model number, but saw that this was being sold as a single, so I went ahead and ordered it. When trying to install it, it wouldn't light and then I saw on the reviews that this was the wrong model. Don't make the same mistake as I did....
- Reviewed in the United States on March 19, 2013I guess this would have been OK, but we attached it to the ceiling in the kitchen and, within a couple of days, it fell to the floor and that was the end of it. We had bought a complete kit of this brand a couple of weeks earlier and they are fine as of right now. But this one light we bought separately is no longer with us.
- Reviewed in the United States on December 10, 2013Really excellent. The motion sensor is a bit too sensitive. I use it in a closet and it can get set off by someone in the room if the door is left open. Otherwise it's a well designed unit and does what it is supposed to do. Real test will be battery life. I would buy another.
- Reviewed in the United States on December 21, 2012I bought these not for emergency lighting, but to add a celing light for my dinning room (which does not have a wired ceiling light). So I purchased a nice wired dome ceiling light fixture from Lowes, stripped out the bulb sockets, mounted the fixture, mounted 2 of the MB985's which came with the remote control and replaced the frosted glass dome. Now I just grab the remote, turn on the lights and presto, I now have light in my dinning room. And I now have an emergency lighting system in my house too!
- Reviewed in the United States on June 6, 2016DO NOT BUY just sent back my 2nd purchase of this item. Had to return not only 1 but 2 headaches !!!! disappointment in purchases. I even had an electrician look at the second one thinking I must be doing something wrong but NO defective also!!!
- Reviewed in the United States on May 6, 2015I run them in an outbuilding that sees nearly daily use. Batteries last a little over a year for me and only come on at night when I need them to. Puts out plenty of light to see by in areas up to about 8ft by 8ft
