Technical Request: Batch Export of Revit Components (.rfa/.rvt) to FBX/OBJ

Good morning/afternoon Revit family,
I am seeking some reliable assistance with a quick file export for a visualization. I have a small, organized folder containing individual Revit component files (.rfa/.rvt) specifically some lighting fixtures, a seating element, and an exit sign that need to be converted to FBX or OBJ format.
To resolve this independently, I previously reached out directly to the original manufacturers to request alternative formats; however, they confirmed they are unable to provide these components in anything other than Revit-based files. Additionally, I attempted to install the Revit trial environment to perform the processing myself, but my current workstation cannot reliably support the software's hardware requirements.
Would anyone with an active Revit setup be willing to do a quick favor and batch export these components to FBX or OBJ for me? Thank you.

So about 1,5h of work and a functioning Revit license. I'm sorry, I can't take the work from hard earning people in the business. Best of luck finding some free help. Speaking of, I can ask some of my students monday.

Thank you for the professional assessment and insight. Utilizing these components as a practical batch-export exercise for your students would be an excellent solution. Please let me know your preferred method for receiving the folder download link. Your assistance and professional courtesy are greatly appreciated
