Have you ever had to stand at your window by 2am, to look at houses on the next street glowing brightly with light? Not having light can be heartbreaking, it’s no fun at all.
One minute you’re scrolling through social media, with the fan rolling on the highest number, the next minute you are sweating profusely like a “Christmas Goat”, because your light is suddenly out.
But of course, light must be constant. Your gadgets have to be charged, your freezer has to stay on so your freshly made soup does not sour, and you need to be able to have your beauty sleep without your bed getting soaked with sweat.
Here are 5 ways to ensure you’re not left in the dark again.
1. Own A Generator
The generator is to keep the light on in the house, and not burn it down, so try keeping the keg of fuel away from the kitchen.
Generators are the reason many are still sane in this country. If you can’t afford the “elephant size”, just buy the “I better pass my neighbor”, they also get the job done.
If the noise becomes unbearable, locking your windows will drown the noise to a large extent. That you own a generator doesn’t mean you should go deaf.
2. Keep The Light On With Fusion
Sometimes the problem is not your street transformer, nor is it a disconnected wire from the pole. Your meter has been screaming for help, but your procrastination won again, and now your laptop has gone off while you
were just about to save the file you’ve been working on for the past 5 hours, Gobeeeee.
Good news is you don’t have to wait till morning before you can recharge your unit. You can do that in seconds on Fusion, it’s faster, easier, and absolutely stress-free.
Also, next time don’t ignore your unit’s cry for help. All you have to do is sign up on Fusion.ng, so you can pay your electricity bill from anywhere, at any time.

3. Get An Inverter
You refused to charge it full when you had light, and now you’re complaining it doesn’t last more than 30 minutes.
If you don’t like generators, because of how loud it can be, then your best bet is an inverter, well except for days you don’t charge it. Good thing is you don’t have to pull a rope like you’re about to blend pepper.
Get one with a solid battery and ensure you keep it charged, or even better, pair it with solar panels. Now, you don’t have to worry about blackouts again.
4. Use Everything Rechargeable
You live in Nigeria and you’re trusting NEPA for 24/7 power supply? Lol jokes on you o.
You know what’s better than having light? Definitely having a backup light. There’s just this joy and inner peace that comes with having light, even when you’re not necessarily in need of the light at the moment.
Rechargeable bulbs, rechargeable fan, power banks, even rechargeable WI-FI routers. Just buy everything rechargeable. They’re affordable and convenient, you just need to have them charged and you’re good to go.

5. Switch To Smart Plugs And Timers
If you’re using an inverter or solar, this one is a game changer. They help you control when and how your appliances use electricity.
You forgot to turn off the inverter again before leaving for work and of course you left the TV and all the lights on, awwww welcome home to darkness. If this is you, then you definitely need this.
With this, you can; schedule lights to turn off at sunrise, automatically shut down unused appliances, and even control usage remotely via your phone.
This is a smart, efficient, and power-saving method to prevent battery drainage when you’re not around.
Electricity shouldn’t be a luxury, it should be considered a necessity just like party jollof. You deserve power that doesn’t go off by 11pm or 2am in the night.
