Hi Everyone.
Working on a self contained emergency lighting system.
There are 70 emergency lights over 3 floors.
The emergencies are wired on a separate circuit from the local lights but fed from the same DB.
I require the supply for the self contained (batt back up) lights to disconnect...
Bit of advice I have converted T8 etc florries to LED in the past no probs, but will there be an issue with a fitting with an emer pack, I ordered the ballast type in error from TLC, so need to get clever as I want a trial run on site to see if LED will work out in a hotel kitchen
Probably a silly question but is there a plug in option for 4 pin 2D emergency/maintained bulkhead using the existing control gear and batteries, if I plug in a 2d 4 pin LED bulb what will happen??:)
might sound a bit stupid but can I break into the permanent live and fit a wago to get an extra feed to fit a new emergency light elsewhere on the circuit?
emergency lights not coming on when breaker is switched off, are these wired just for use as normal lights rather than emergency??? Sorry not done much emergency lights before
Is there any software that will enable a rough drawing of a building layout which can combine photo metric data?
Possibly a free software from a lighting manufacturer?
Evening all
I use to have a really good booklet on EICR codes and examples but i cant seem to find it now! Can anybody recommend a helpful page/print out for this?
Also can anyone point me to a good page/print out for emergency lighting regs, positions etc...
Thanks
I have recently passed my Fire Alarm and Emergency Lighting Training and have been approached by a friend with regards to Assessing the Emergency Lighting for a local company.
I have conducted a visual check and the system is clearly Non Compliant, there are No Documents in respect of Plans...
I replaced the emergency lights in a small block of flats about 6 months ago, but the last time I did a 3 hour emergency light test was a year ago. Common sense says that I don't need to test the new emergency lights until they are a year old, but any clarification appreciated?
It's been a while since I tested emergency lights and I just wanted to clarify something.
If the lights not working and the green LED light is off, is this an inverter and if the LED light is off and the lights still not working is this a dead battery?
Good morning all,
I have a question about emergency lighting and the requirement of an indicator light stating that it is on mains power and charging.
The centre that I work at has been refurbed and new LED type emergency lights installed at very high level, I don't know what MCB's control them...
Hi guys came across something I've not seen before and has me puzzled. I've tested quite a few emergency lighting systems over the years but I'm working in a older church with the emergency lighting supplied from a individual consumer unit wired in Pyro. The rest of the Installation is split...
Hi all,
I occasionally being asked to do fire alarm testing and emergency lighting testing. I work mainly on domestic installs but wondering what sort of qualification/competency you must have in order to carry those tasks. And is it any specific schemes like NIC/NAPIT does have to be involved...
Hello, I feel a bit stupid asking this on site now as the spark looking after me has already mentioned it, but why would an emmergency lighting system have a separate 2-core fire performance cable (black and white cores) pulled in with the FP200? I’m sure it’s called a ‘bell’ or ‘belling’ cable...
Kindly refer the attached Image. There are 2 Places at which I can give reference signals for Emergency lighting.
1. At MXC
2. At LTC (Unswitched & Switched)
What is the difference between the above two? why there is a need to provide input at two different locations?

Hi all,
been a while - hello!
A question for the collective brain - I'm about to do a series of inspections on an ANIMAL hospital. This in itself has always vexed me as to how to apply the special location medical rules as 1) a critical life-threatening operation is the same whether it's...
