The \u003cstrong\u003eSanford SF699LED\u003c\/strong\u003e screws into your existing light fitting and behaves like a normal \u003cstrong\u003e5W\u003c\/strong\u003e bulb with \u003cstrong\u003e40 SMD LEDs\u003c\/strong\u003e — then, when the mains fails, its \u003cstrong\u003eintegrated battery\u003c\/strong\u003e takes over and the light simply stays on. No torch to find, no candle, no scrambling in the dark, and every room fitted with one keeps its lighting. It supports both \u003cstrong\u003eAC and DC operation\u003c\/strong\u003e, and it ships with \u003cstrong\u003eB22 bayonet and E27 screw\u003c\/strong\u003e adapters, so it fits Kenyan fittings of either type without a trip back to the shop. Fit them in the rooms where darkness is genuinely disruptive — kitchen, stairs, children's bedroom — rather than everywhere at once.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePower\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e5W\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLEDs\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e40 SMD\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBattery\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eIntegrated lead-acid, rechargeable\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOperation\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAC and DC\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFittings\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eB22 and E27 included\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eModel\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSF699LED\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eBuying guide\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe key thing to understand is how emergency bulbs charge: they need the wall switch left on so the bulb receives mains power during normal hours, which is what tops up the internal battery. A bulb in a room whose switch is normally off will be flat when you need it — that is the single most common disappointment with this product. Prioritise placement: kitchen, stairwell, corridor and children's rooms benefit most, and fitting three in the right places beats ten in the wrong ones. Check your fittings, though both B22 and E27 adapters are included here so either works. Expect emergency runtime in the range of a couple of hours rather than all night, which is what a 5W bulb with an internal battery can realistically deliver. Lead-acid batteries prefer regular topping up to deep discharge, so let it recharge fully after each outage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow it compares\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAgainst a torch, this lights a whole room hands-free and needs no finding in the dark. Compared with the rechargeable head lamp in the range, that is for tasks and walking outdoors while this replaces room lighting. Against a solar lantern, this needs no window position and charges from the mains automatically. Against a generator or inverter, this covers lighting only, but at a tiny fraction of the cost and with no installation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eFrequently asked questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow does it charge?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFrom the mains while in use as a normal bulb, so the wall switch must be left on during normal hours.
