Philips Battery Backup Lamp E27 • Rechargeable LED lamp for normal mains lighting and power-cut backup • Automatic changeover to battery operation when mains power fails • E27 screw fitting • Cool Day Light and Warm White variants in the live catalogue • Instant LED light with low energy consumption • Suitable for open, compatible household lamp holders • Convenient emergency illumination without a separate lantern • Reusable internal battery system The Philips Battery Backup Lamp E27 is a dual-purpose rechargeable LED bulb for everyday room lighting and temporary illumination during electricity interruptions. When mains power is available, it functions as a normal LED lamp and charges its internal battery. If the supply fails while the lamp circuit remains switched on, the lamp changes to battery-powered light, helping keep essential areas visible. Automatic Backup Lighting The integrated battery and changeover circuit remove the need to locate a torch immediately when power goes off. Backup brightness and operating duration are normally lower than full mains performance and vary with the exact regional lamp configuration, battery charge, age and ambient conditions. E27 Lamp Fitting This version is made for an E27 screw holder. Confirm the fitting before purchase: E27 and B22 bayonet lamps are not interchangeable without changing the holder. Switch off the circuit at the distribution board before installing or removing the lamp. Two Light-Colour Options The live Shopify product contains Cool Day Light and Warm White variants. Cool Day Light provides a crisp functional tone for kitchens, passages and work areas, while Warm White creates a softer atmosphere for bedrooms and living spaces. Select the required variant before checkout. Correct Fixture and Circuit Use Use the lamp only in a compatible open fitting with the electrical arrangement specified by Philips. Backup lamps depend on the lamp circuit and switching path to detect a power failure. They are not substitutes for certified emergency-exit lighting or legally required building emergency systems. Key Benefits • Provides normal LED lighting and power-cut backup from one lamp. • Changes to battery mode automatically when correctly installed. • Reduces dependence on disposable-battery torches for short outages. • Offers a choice between functional and ambient light colours. • Uses the widely adopted E27 screw fitting.
