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.

    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?


    I agree with the sentiment, but in the end it is mostly the client that dictates the standard. Badges and registration can be a good start, but generally mean someone has paid someone else some money for the privilege.  I have seen many B..E   badged  installers work on maintenance contracts for Emergency lighting and the installation standard, particularly connection of conductors and the basics of it actually staying on the fabric of the building beggars belief.

    If in doubt...get an electrician to do it.
