The first hybrid torch in India was introduced by Eveready Industries, the top lighting and battery manufacturer in the nation. The dual-powered device, a first-of-its-kind innovation that enables the option of both rechargeable and battery-operated use, has allowed the company to expand its flashlight line and ensure that customers never run out of light, especially when there is no power source available.

Eveready‘s next-generation hybrid torch is a patent-applied product with a 1W side light and a powerful 1W super-bright front LED for focused illumination. Its sturdy ABS plastic body makes it perfect for both daily and rough outdoor use. The flashlight’s unique feature is its built-in rechargeable battery, which can be charged in just 2.5 hours using a USB Type-C interface. Additionally, it is powered by three AA batteries at once, allowing you to convert to the Battery-Operated Mode if the torch runs out of power. Its additional safety features, such as deep discharge and overcharge protection, help prolong battery life and were designed with the consumer’s primary need in mind—that it never goes out of light.

To further enhance user convenience, the product’s unique design includes a charging indicator light, a position slide switch for the front and side lights, and a position switch for choosing between rechargeable and battery-operated power modes.

Eveready is also working on the movie “Nikita Roy”, which stars Bollywood actress Sonakshi Sinha, to commemorate the release of the new Hybrid Torch. The main actress will appear in a film showcasing the patent-applied Hybrid Torch’s two-in-one power backup function and its simple toggle switch that allows users to switch between power modes in a matter of seconds, providing long-lasting power and guaranteeing that users are #NeverOutOfLight. Sonakshi portrays Nikita Roy in the movie, a character who must navigate both personal struggles and supernatural darkness, making her a perfect match for the campaign’s concept of enlightenment and resiliency.

A rechargeable Li-ion battery and three AA carbon zinc batteries make up the Hybrid Torch’s dual power source, which is intended for everyday usage, travel, camping, trekking, security, and emergencies. Eveready’s Hybrid Torch costs Rs. 399 and comes in two colors, red and green. It can be purchased at reputable stores and on popular online marketplaces in India.

In keeping with its goal of providing cutting-edge goods and services, Eveready introduced the Eveready Siren Torch last year. With just a tug of the keychain, women can keep secure with the Siren Torch, a unique torch with a loud 100-decibel siren that can warn others of danger. This torch, which is small, rechargeable, and portable, is an example of how Eveready is applying clever concepts to produce practical solutions for daily use and safety.
