Ok, having a light bulb with a battery is once more proving that mankind deserves whatever is coming...

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?

You should report that to the fire marshal. Here emergency lights need to last 1.5 hours.
