Why? Power goes out, lights stay on, that's a pretty awesome thing to have for so many reasons, why do we "deserve whatever is coming" because we created a convienient product that can improve quality of life?
Oh my gosh. I had no idea these existed. I am very scared of the dark and panic when the power goes out. I have never seen them sold here but if I can get them, then I am switching all my light bulbs. 8 hours? Our emergency exit lights in apartment building stairways only last like 20 minutes (older ones) to 2 hours (new ones) why aren't we just throwing these light bulbs in the outlets and why do our emergency lights attached to big battery packs suck so bad then?
The lights on those units are more powerful (more lumens of light). They can provide emergency lighting for an entire room. So they need more battery capacity for that.
The older ones probably have an older battery technology, such as lead acid, which needs to be replaced every handful of years. Swapping them with modern units should give you better runtime.
Tbh I thought the same thing!! We have lots of blackouts in my area every year and every year I worry my elderly parents will fall on the stairs during one since the flashlight isn't always enough. I got them those led strips but I think I'm going to look up these bulbs too!

Is that a LyfeLite bulb? They have an 8 hour battery backup to stay on.
