For those totally lazy from doing DIY .... there is the screw-in type emergency light.

I have seen local LED lighting companies selling similar products so this is already available in the local market. Just a matter of finding a store that has it.

If you want your emergency lights to last longer then what you can do is to unplug them. Ok, i know, it is no longer an emergency light when it is unplugged. But you can always turn them On manually when needed. I keep our emergency lights unplugged, turn them on to totally discharge the batteries once every 4-6 months (discharging at high output takes 36 hours) then charge them up again. Once they are fully charged i unplug them again.

If the emergency light will be plugged in all times, what type of battery is recommended, lead acid or Lithium ion?
Of course lead acid is cheaper, but yearly ata ang palitan niyan. Yung lithium should last longer, so long as it isn't drained down to 0, and always charged?

my beef with rechargeable emergency lights... is that you will probably need them when there is no electricity.. so how will you charge 'em? keep them charged at all times? by experience, that ain't easy.
personally, i prefer dry cell-powered emergency lights. the dry cells last over a year with nary a fuss. and they are easy to buy..
