Can a standard AA battery be used to power the light in the even of an emergency?

No. This is a special rechargeble battery that is not the standard size of AA batteries.

I run this from the outlet, and it's been exceptionally reliant. There's a back-up battery for emergency power outage.

I use regular AA batteries all the time. Never purchase expensive rechargeable batteries.

the lock uses very little power, I would assume a 12v battery would work fine, I think creating a circuit similar to an emergency light would work without issues

This battery is NOT rechargeable. It is designed to be used as a backup battery for things like alarm systems. I cannot speak to its suitability for powering interior lighting, but suspect this is not what you are looking for. Best suggestion would be to call a place like Batteries Plus and have the specific information about what you are trying to power.

I takes "AAAA" batteries. (Yes 4-A's, quadruple). There really is such a thing. Triple 'A' is too big for this slim light.

I bought one, but I cant find a room for AA. this uses an exclusive battery only.

No, this requires a power source, you need to plug it into household power,I see no option for battery use. Also the light have a very distinct yellow cast, not the cool white I expected from LED.

I dont think so, i think the light has a plastic rotary holder for the 3 batteries. look into lights that take 1 aa and they could be compatible.

If in a remote area with no power available, then a solar panel and 12v battery can be used for power. Available here from Amazon.

You should have no problems with that battery. I hooked up the light to a 12V supply I have. The light uses 0.8A.

Good question. I would suppose you can, as long as the rechargeable battery mets the voltage/current specifications for the light. If you aren't sure, I'd recommend against making the change.

I'm not sure. It is a sealed battery, like the ones you would find in back-up emergency lighting.

Yes, the power source, being the power coming into your home, must be wired to the emergency light for two reasons. One, to keep the battery charged in the emergency light and two, incase of a power outage the emergency light will come automatically.

Regular aa's will work but I used rechargable. I do not recomend this product

The short answer is "yes". But there is a bit more to it.... You would need to leave the unit plugged in and in the off mode during non-use periods and turn it on during the outage. I live in the tropics and power outages are frequent, mine are both plugged in and in the auto-mode all the time. The batteries are long lasting and the light is bright and therefore it is easy to find the unit when the power does go out. I would recommend the units and buy more.

I also recommend getting the AA battery holder. AA are everywhere where outlets are sometimes not.
