Severe storms and outages are hard to predict, but with Brightbox, you can be better prepared for any scenario at any time.

Brightbox is the Chestnut Hill back-up power solution that puts you in control. It can turn on during an outage and will work to recharge until the grid's restored.

Unlike generators, Brightbox doesn’t run on fossil fuels, which produce carbon monoxide (CO) that’s dangerous for your health.12
