seems a pointless move, as for the majority of uses the cost of installation is likely to swamp the unit price
Long lasting emergency lights?

So, who is going to make incandescent 'bulbs' just for emergency lights?
I though (pre-LED) they mainly used 12" T5 tubes?
I've fitted some with lamps, but even small tubes are going out of production,
I had a very old one that used 2 x torch bulbs. Don't remember the rating.

I meant deliberately putting smaller batteries in
And one of the things about these bespoke LED products is that they tend to be sealed for life
which means that in 25 years when the bulbs die, you have to get the electrician in to do a complete re-install
So much better if it had standard fittings and you manually put LED bulbs in there yourself
replacement LEDs with the same fitting are usually available
But they are standard fittings - modern standards
Plenty for large fluorescents - I have a few here, but haven't seen any for the small tubes.
for illumination, or ... ?
