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.

    John, the design is there with appropriately located fittings, the usual spec requirements and the original fittings are a known brand in Thorn.


    Problem is this client trying to be a hero and change the design by bullying the designer who is quite rightly unhappy about it.


    Just have to push back with as much as possible in terms of certification and ICEL as well.


    Hopefully we can make the client see the error of his ways - unless the product miraculously turns out to be the real deal.
