Really jolly good and easier to fit than other similar units.
I bought a couple of these (emergency type) to replace very similar units that failed in days because of a nearby fluorescent tube - which I replaced before fitting these just in case. As an aside, if you have fluorescent units in the same circuit and physically close in the circuit then it is a good idea to change those for LED units - a 5' LED strip light was cheaper than one of these, brighter than the one it replaced, and cheaper to run. Apparently the power surges as fluorescents turn on/off can knacker the LED drivers - you have been warned.Having bought these to replace very similar looking units I can make comparisons:The actual board holding the LEDs hinges down and is held up by a simple turn-button. Very easy and no screws to do up (and drop).This unit has the cable fixings attached to the back plate so once you have put the wires in, they don't have to move to install the gear tray unlike the units these replaced - 3 lots of 1.5mm T&E are not very flexible so this is a great advantage.Power is easily adjustable with the LEDs in the 'up' position - a simple slider.At 18w it was noticeably brighter that the 17w unit it replaced - and I needed to turn one down in in one location as it was just too bright.While quite a few makes of these units have 3 different shades of white, this one is easy to adjust with a simple slider again. I use the middle setting as a) It seems more natural to me, and b) because it uses all the LEDs (basically there are 2 colours of LED and the settings either select one set, the other, or both).The green LED that indicates the emergency battery is charging is brighter and more central, but not visible when the light is on.Visually these looks the same as the ones they replaced, but they are very slightly smaller in diameter and a bit shallower - but only really noticeable if you put them side by side.The LEDs are more centrally located than my old units, but the diffuser makes the light spread evenly enough, though perhaps a tiny bit less than the old ones.The screw fixing holes: 4 located very close to the central cable entry (a bit too close really) and 3 around the outside edge (too far out perhaps?) but using the outer ones prevent the unit moving or bowing when you screw on the outer cover.I've not had these in place long enough to test the battery life or life expectancy, but it does come with a decent length guarantee. Personally I would like the emergency light to be a bit brighter, but that would impact on how long it could stay on - always a compromise - but bright enough for most people in an emergency situation.All in all, a jolly good unit and I will be using these to replace any where old lights fail in both domestic and commercial settings (having swapped out any nearby fluorescent tubes).

Worked straight out of the box
Used to light up an alleyway

Be patient when installing
Over all it’s a reasonable product. Installation is not user friendly.Led circuit board would have been better with click fit instead of screws.

Extremely difficult to set up the sensor
A professional electritian set it up for us. The sensor is difficult to work out, and even following the instructions, the light was on most of the time. It took a good few goes to get it working as it should, hence the low score. Past that point, the light itself is alright.
