Hager Light in consumer unit

[camerabloke]

I fitted a hager consumer unit about 2 years ago for a firm i used to work for and they gave me a module that was a rechargeable light that comes on with a powercut and that can also be removed and used as a torch. i have been trying to source one but cannot find one anywhere? any clues?

I have an led battery lamp that sits under my cu. Was £1.99 including batteries.

I like the idea of fitting a non maintained emergency light near the CU but have not yet had the opportunity to do it

Thats exactly what I have in my utility room where the board is. its the place to be when there is a power cut too, well for 3 hours or so anyway

I have in the past put EML fittings adjacent to the CU but the modules look so much better

I like lighting all the candles in the house and chatting to the kids as there's no internet

we had a power cut a few weeks back that lasted a couple of hours. I was more bothered about the marine tank pumps etc but all the kids could say was ohh no internet

I changed all fittings in old army camp and got about 20 thorn twin em fittings, so most ppl I know got 1 0o 2.. And we're impressed , nearly like magic For few mins.

when ever I do a consumer unit change in an elderly persons house I always put in an emergency light normally throw it in with the cost , one I did was an 86 year old lady her consumer unit was in her kitchen next to her hall so I put it in her hall she was made up when she had a power cut , got them all round my house we get a lot of powercut round here normally change over time for the sheep !!I must admit people think jesus is visiting when there is a power cut only light for miles around and the number of time we get phone calls asking if the powers off

I have a maintained EML fitting in my cupboard that houses the CU.
I use it all the time as a normal light as this cupboard is my man cave and have the added benefit that it works when the power cuts

If I ever do a full rewire on my own house I would defo go for a emergo in near the board prob even consider mixing one into the down lights in rooms

A lot of councils ive worked on have EML in cu cupboards ,IMO think its a good idea

 

[nickblake]

What does it cost £14 for a maintained emergency light great if the consumer unit is in a cupboard there's nearly enough light from the indicator alone to see what you are doing be it green

I have a maintained one, with a cupboard switch so the light comes on when you open the door.

Does anyone know of a small EM light fitting suitable for fitting inside of say kitchen unit or shoe type cupboard where a big bulky item wouldnt be suitable
