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.

    Thanks Harry, thing is I suppose you get what you pay for, fittings need to be robust and well made, and my gut tells me this is too good to be true as the price difference between it and the standard known brands like Thorn or Ansell seems a bit too big. Maybe a different project might suit, but there are a fair few of these on this job and a bit risky to go with something that is not familiar and not even equivalent to the spec. The minute anything goes wrong, the designer will be blamed for approving the fitting.


    Plus the client is a dodgy b***** and anything this type of person puts forward really warrants extra scrutiny. Apparently he has screwed up other things on site by ordering wrong materials or products so potentially becoming a car crash job already .
