Step 1: Step 1. Material
Existing emergency light , I had is SUNCA rechargeable cfl light with 6 volt 4.5 ah smf battery. 2 x 6 Watt CFL
1.Power LED 1 Watt with heat sink - 5 Nos x 10 = 50 Rupees
2.Resistance 10 Ohm 5 watt or 4.7 ohm 5 watt for more brightness - 1 No. x 5 = 5 Rupees
total cost is Rs. 55 in India , around 1 $ in US
