After the batteries had some time to charge, I tested them out and the lights are very bright, so much so that I was able to see them well enough to aim them without turning off the main lights in the hallway. Very pleased for the price and if things go as advertised, I should continue to save money on replacing batteries as I frequently had to to with the old lead battery fixtures.
Only downside is that with the oval shape, I now need to paint the wall where you can see the marks from the old square-shaped fixture.

I was looking for emergency lights that last a lot longer than the legally required 90 minute minimum.These have a larger battery than most LED EM lights because they're designed to be able to power 2 additional, outboard lights (sold seperatly). I use them by themselves because I prefer the extra run-time. In my testing they ran at full brightness for about 2 hours, and then slowly started to get dimmer. After 5.5 hours they were still on at aprox 1/3 brightness.
My previous incandescent lights ran for 90 100 minutes and then suddenly turned off. Also,. the conventional lights have a lead-acid battery that goes bad every few years. Supposedly these Ni-Mh batteries will last much longer.
