Load shedding is still a reality for millions of South Africans — but the right gadgets can make life a whole lot easier (and safer) when the power goes out. At S&S Collectives, we've curated a range of smart, affordable solutions to keep your home running no matter what stage Eskom throws at you.
Here are our top 5 must-have gadgets for surviving load shedding in 2026:
1. Solar Street Lights Pack of 4
Keep your driveway, garden, and yard illuminated even during the longest power cuts. Our 96 LED Solar Street Lights charge automatically during the day and switch on at night — no wiring, no electricity costs, and no stress. With motion sensors and 3 lighting modes, they're as smart as they are practical.
💡 Perfect for: Security lighting, driveways, garden paths, and yard fencing.
2. Solar Pendant Light
For indoor spaces, our Solar Pendant Light is a game-changer. Hang it in your lounge, kitchen, or bedroom — it charges in sunlight and gives you bright, reliable light when load shedding hits. Includes a remote control so you don't even have to get up.
💡 Perfect for: Living rooms, garages, stoeps, and kids' rooms during load shedding.
3. LED Solar Wall Light with Motion Sensor
Mount our IP66-rated Solar Wall Light outside your front door or along your perimeter wall. It automatically activates at dusk and lights up at full brightness when it detects movement — keeping your home secure and well-lit all night long.
💡 Perfect for: Front doors, back yards, garage entries, and security-sensitive areas.
4. Smart Wi-Fi Plug with Energy Monitor
Load shedding often means appliances are left on when power returns — leading to energy spikes and wasted electricity. Our Smart Wi-Fi Plug lets you remotely switch appliances on/off from your phone and set schedules so your home runs efficiently even when you're not home. Works with Alexa and Google Home.
💡 Perfect for: Geysers, heaters, lamps, and any appliance you want to control remotely.
5. Cordless Electric Air Duster
Okay, this one isn't directly load shedding related — but generators and inverters accumulate a LOT of dust. Keep your equipment clean and running at peak performance with our 51,000 RPM Cordless Electric Air Duster. USB-C rechargeable with up to 30 minutes of continuous use.
💡 Perfect for: Cleaning inverters, generators, solar panels, keyboards, and home appliances.
