<h2>Key Features That Make These Lamps Last</h2>
<h3>Battery Life and Runtime</h3>
<p>All featured models use 6V 4AH sealed lead-acid batteries, but runtime varies significantly based on LED settings. Consider your typical power outage duration - 24-150 hours covers everything from brief interruptions to extended load shedding.</p>
<h3>Charging Time</h3>
<p>Most models require 20-24 hours for a full charge via AC 220V. While this seems long, the extended runtime makes it worthwhile. All models feature overcharge protection to prevent battery damage.</p>
<h3>LED Configuration</h3>
<p>More LEDs mean brighter light but shorter runtime. Models offer different configurations:</p>
<ul style="list-style: none; padding: 0;">
<li style="padding: 0.5rem 0;"><strong>8-28 LEDs:</strong> Balanced brightness and runtime (15-25 hours)</li>
<li style="padding: 0.5rem 0;"><strong>40-44 LEDs:</strong> Good brightness with decent runtime (11-15 hours)</li>
<li style="padding: 0.5rem 0;"><strong>88 LEDs:</strong> Maximum brightness (11-17 hours)</li>
</ul>
<h3>Automatic vs Manual Operation</h3>
<p>Automatic models like the HK-260B and HK-400Q light up instantly when power fails - perfect for hallways and kitchens. Manual models give you more control over when to use battery power.</p>
<h3>Portability</h3>
<p>All models are portable, but consider weight and size if you plan to move them frequently or take them camping. The HK270A and HK-400B are particularly lightweight and easy to carry.</p>
