But if they only last 4 hours, and the power trips when i'm asleep

they will be flat.

So recommendations for emergency lights with longer lasting
batteries please?

Change the bulbs in them to LED.

Ones you buy nowadays have LEDs - the size of battery has,
consequentlyt, been reduced -


and the price.


seems a pointless move, as for the majority of uses the cost of
installation is likely to swamp the unit price



So, who is going to make incandescent 'bulbs' just for emergency lights?
