Oddly cheap emergency lighting

me1899
Hi All


I was wondering if anyone had come across the below:

https://www.lighthubdirect.com/collections/led-bulkhead-lights/products/14w-led-emergency-maintained-non-maintained-round-dome-bulkhead-light-3hr-white-ip65


Basically a 14W bulkhead with LiFePo4 battery, 3 hrs, 1000 lumens with 300 lumens in emergency mode - all for 30 quid.


That does not sound right to me cost wise - has anyone used this brand? if it is that cheap there must be something funny. I am going to have a read of BS EN 60598 to see if I can figure out anything, but just seems weird.

    Sounds more like a contract issue. A variation would be appropriate to nail down responsibility. However, the lights are advertised as fit for purpose, perhaps you are just being asked to verify that a change in the make of light is satisfactory? You can surely limit that to its purpose as advertised.

    From an electricians perspective, a client supplying lights can be a win win situation, as you can then charge to remove and refit, if it fails within a few days or months.

    See what the electrician thinks, if possible. Those lights seem to be a usual derivative that many wholesalers "rebrand". Generally those I have found reliable, but the wattage is unusual to me.
