Some users may want 1000 lumens of light, but only need it for 15 minutes. That decision was likely made to conserve power when the light is running off the battery, but it would be far more useful to have a brighter bulb when operating on A/C, and have a switch that lets you set the desired brightness when running off the battery.

On the other hand, when I tried the bulb in a hardwired wall fixture, simply turning the light off at the switch caused the battery backup to engage. When I cut the power at the breaker, the lamp did reactivate. ![]() In a lamp, the bulb turned off and on normally at the switch, but physically unplugging the lamp did not cause the battery to engage.
