Gotham Lighting is recalling its Compact Fluorescent Downlights (Recessed Ceiling Lights) after discovering the light can fail to work in an emergency.

About 30,000 lights are included in the recall.

The relay on the backup battery of the lights could be programmed incorrectly and prevent the lights from functioning in an emergency.

Only Gotham Compact Fluorescent Downlights sold with the optional backup battery pack are included in the recall. The lights are recessed ceiling lights that were manufactured between November 1, 2007 and July 31, 2008.

The lights were sold at electrical distributors and sales representatives nationwide from November 2007 through July 2008 for between $250 and $350.

Consumers are urged to inspect the fixtures immediately and contact Gotham Lighting to receive a repair for the light fixture.
