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.

  • I've seen several recently that seem really cheap. I think this is because the electronics can be mass produced and LED lamps means the battery doesn't have to be nearly as big as it used to be. I bought one for £35 in 2010 which is still going and it wouldn't surprise me if they are cheaper now.
