About
This rechargeable emergency LED tube is a practical choice for indoor general lighting where you need the lights to stay on during load shedding or unexpected outages—like stairwells and entrance halls at home, or office passages and work areas. It charges while the power is on and automatically switches to backup mode when the mains goes off, so you can still move around safely and keep key areas visible.
This LED tube is especially useful in hallways and stairwells where steady light matters most. It gives you reliable backup lighting in the spaces people use most often, so movement stays safe and familiar when the power cuts out.

Confirm Indoor-Only Placement: Use only in indoor areas. Ideal for stairwells, entrance halls, office passages, and work areas where lighting must continue during outages.
Use Compatible Single-Sided Wiring: Install in fixtures wired for standard single-sided wiring. Confirm compatibility before switching on power.
Maintain Charge During Operation: Keep power on during normal use so the tube charges. This ensures it automatically switches to backup when mains goes off.
Verify Automatic Backup Operation: After installation, confirm backup activates when mains goes off so key areas stay visible.
Choose Daylight For Visibility: Use the 6000K daylight colour to keep areas bright and clear, supporting safe movement in passages, stairwells, and work zones.
