Thanks Bob, that sounds like a great idea. I see you can get recessed
LED downlighter versions which should work well on our middle lighting
for providing some illumination for both stairwells whilst not
presenting any aesthetic issues.

Having only performed a cursory search for options it seems that they
often only provide a 3hr illumination time. This would be fine for an
alarm but perhaps not that useful for power failure notification.
Perhaps I just need to do further searching?

That's true. A complete power failure is obvious in our house. Three
separate UPS units start beeping wildly. This happened recently at 4 a.m.
