    Emergency lighting from existing lighting

    Can you use an existing lighting circuit (one switch operating one light fitting using twin & earth) to replace with maintained emergency lighting fitting with microwave sensor? The idea being that the switch becomes redundant due to the sensor, but can be used for the emergency switch test plate.

My initial idea...
