Oddly cheap emergency lighting

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.

  • If these fittings are going to be used for emergency lighting is there a design for this installation and has the designer specified these fittings? Will the installation meet the requirements of the Fire Risk Assessment? Who is going to install the fittings and who will lnspect and test the completed installation and issue the Completion Certificate?


    I would want to ensure the designer, the installer and the inspector to be BAFE registered and listed on the BAFE site as registered for each of the above activities!


    Or will it be the usual sh*te non compliant job with no design, cheap fittings dotted around no certification just another Grenfell Tower waiting to happen?
