BEFORE YOU BUY
When Does It Make Sense to Use a Ceiling Light with an Emergency Backup?
There are many reasons. One is that building code may need it. Even if its not required by code, you may want to provide passageways in case there is a power outage. Otherwise the area would be dark / dangerous without adding battery-powered light.
