I have several emergency lights over the stairs etc, which light up

But if they only last 4 hours, and the power trips when i'm asleep
at midnight, and fire breaks out at 6 a.m. or i need to get up,
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?
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
