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

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
