Thomas Edison is credited as the inventor of the light bulb in 1879. Since then the light bulb has become a necessity in every home and business and has evolved not just in appearance but also in performance.
Homes and establishments rely on emergency lights as their main arsenal against power outages, being that they light up as soon as the power trips.
Our usual solution to power outages
Whenever the power is down most people end up doing one or all of the following:
- bring out some candles
- if they have gas lamps, they bring those out, too
- or they bring out/turn on emergency lights, especially along stairwells.
Emergency lights that are available commercially usually come in 2 forms … industrial and portable. Industrial emergency lights are often wall-mounted while portable, as the term suggests, is something that you can carry around.
In both cases they are essentially battery packs with light bulbs attached. In both cases the entire unit is heavy and cumbersome.
Wall-mounted emergency lights are often left plugged the entire time and are equipped with a sensor so that as soon as it gets dark the light will turn on. Portable emergency lights are charged for a few hours then stored and only brought out when needed.
The Nxled Emergency Light Bulb is the solution
Tessa Prieto-Valdes endorses the Nxled Emergency Bulb
Nxled, Next Generation Lighting, offers an innovative solution to power failures with the new Nxled 6 Watts Emergency Bulb. This revolutionary bulb works like a normal bulb but better: it can be attached to a regular socket in any part of the house and charges while it’s being used. When a power failure occurs, it will automatically light up, thus switching into emergency lighting!
The Nxled Emergency Bulb, powered by a 3.7V 3000mAh lithium battery, can remain lit for up to 6 hours. It also has the option to be used as a carry-around bulb. It comes with a portable mother socket so you can simply carry it indoors or outdoors.
And because it’s LED, you can save energy and costs by up to 90% compared to a 50 Watt incandescent bulb with the same brightness. It also does not contain mercury and is environment friendly, with an average lamp life of 30,000 hours.
The Nxled emergency bulb comes with a two-year warranty and is now available in leading hardware stores nationwide at an introductory price of PHP 495.
That’s 495 pesos! This is less expensive than other emergency lights found in the market today.

Citi has been named the leading Consumer Bank in Asia by AsianInvestor Magazine for its wealth management business. The award was selected by the editorial team of the magazine and was based on the bank’s superior wealth management platform in Asia Pacific.
In the editorial write up accompanying the award, the magazine said: “Citi’s wealth management business in Asia rode out powerful headwinds to enjoy strong performance, partly as a result of its enhanced portfolio management tools, digitalization and client engagements.”
During the last 12 months, Citi continued to enhance its client engagement tools, such as rolling out the Portfolio 360 offering to new markets and launching the new Citigold Diversification Index (CDI). Portfolio 360provides comprehensive investment analytics reports under various stress test scenarios and the CDI assesses client’s portfolio diversification across asset classes. Both have helped further support clients of the bank in the region to assess their portfolios and navigate sometimes challenging markets.
The bank’s client assets under management are now over US$210bn across the 12 markets in Asia where the bank offers consumer banking services.
Product-wise, Citi expanded its open-architecture fund offering to include liquid alternatives, and continued to onboard new funds to offer non-correlated products. It also moved to further enhance the wealth management knowledge of its relationship managers partnering with the prestigious Wharton Business School of the US on a three-year executive education program.
Paul Hodes Managing Director, Head, Wealth Management, Consumer Bank, Asia Pacific Citibank
“A key competitive advantage for Citi is being able to deliver expertise in wealth management by raising the level of advisory through new tools and an expanded product offer via our open architecture platform delivered by a highly skilled team of relationship managers, portfolio counselors and product specialists. It is a real honor to receive the AsianInvestor Consumer Bank award for the fourth-consecutive year as recognition for our team in Asia,” said Paul Hodes, Head of Consumer Banking Wealth Management for Asia Pacific.
In the Philippines, Citi pioneered wealth management in the early 1990s and continues to enjoy a strong market lead with its wide range of products, customized advice and groundbreaking digital platform. Most recently, it launched Citi Model Portfolio, a diversification and asset allocation guide designed to aid clients to make informed investment choices.
Bea Tan
Citibank Philippines
“Coming after the introduction of the online Insurance Gap calculator, which allows our clients to find out in minutes if they’ve done enough to protect themselves and their families financially, the Citi Model Portfolio once again empowers our customers to make decisions to grow their wealth and secure their future. All these showcase our commitment to our clients, and that we value their choice of Citi as their financial partner,” said Bea Tan, Head of Consumer Banking for Citi Philippines.
