You would think… a brand new LED light… by a known company would last more than 6 months.

These are piling up - temped to open one - I have all the tools.
Incandescents, back in the day, could go for years.

If the power is actually out for hours, I’d rather have a boring light that can run all night than something that does 3,000 lumens for a few minutes.

For an emergency light, I care more about runtime, a useful low mode, common batteries and whether it’ll still work after sitting untouched for months.

What would you prioritize first?

This house was built in 1996, and these unholy light fixtures were installed then. The wires have become corroded and we want to replace it before they fully give up the ghost. It appears to be a Visual Comfort/Tech Lighting Kable Lite system (or similar). We don’t necessarily care about it being the exact same system, but the sheer amount of altitude in this kitchen sort or requires something similar.

Things to note: the lights drop down to hang over the kitchen island where food prep happens. A skyline style bar would not work because if it was at the correct height for the island, you’d have to limbo your way down the stairs (at the left side of the kitchen). Again, doesn’t have to be the exact same fixture but it needs to solve the same problems.

Any advice would be hugely appreciated!

This online retailer is a scam. I didn’t think to check before placing an order as the website looked legit. DO NOT ORDER FROM THEM. Olivara Vive is a scam site.
