In built test facility? (Unplug it)

The pictograms on the right clearly states:- “in the event of fire, run around in a circle in blind panic”

Looks like you buy the one emergency exit luminaire, and select the appropriate signage rather than having to buy the correct luminaire with the correct sign for each application.

5A plug just looks like a standard BS 546 type d to me, what is it if its not?

Went to change a trickle/boost wall fan today that ventilated a small storage room. Disconnected the old fan from the adjacent switched fused spur, moved the supply wires from the load terminals to the supply terminals, replaced the 13a fuse with a 3a one. New fan class II but took Zs reading at spur as a matter of course. Meter not testing, looks like no earth. Spur wired to nearby surface PIR in grey T+E, nope cable runs straight through the PIR box into the light on the wall by the fan. Checked in the light and rather surprised to see the reason I wasn't getting an earth loop reading. Ended up ripping the wiring for the fan, light and PIR out and wiring it properly off the conduit just below. This must have been like it for more than 10 years. Surprised no one ever got a shock off the plate screws.

That's a 2A BS 546 plug, so same range just 2A rather than 5A as the OP indicated.
2A is pretty rare TBH

We had them in our rooms at university - the town centre Woolies did a good trade at the start of each academic year. Plus there was a second hand market selling your surplus plugs to freshers when you'd moved into more modern digs.
The lighting circuit wasn't metered while the power circuits were. Having some electrical knowledge was handy in maximising what you could safely run off the 2A lighting sockets !

Also, my parents house built in the 80s had lots of combination outlets - one 13A socket, a fuse, and two 2A sockets. They got swapped simply because of the hassle moving things around when the sockets are mixed.

To be fair, it is at least a decent bit of workmanship. The front complex bend is a bit wrinkly, but some would have used "a lot" of elbows to do it.
