emergency lighting

[Pete-]

I am working as a caretaker in a care home at the moment and have noticed that one emergency light will light when a bulb has blown whilst still showing a status light.

When bulb is replaced it will go out.

should say not tube on unit and unit will not light under normal test.

sorry for short post having problems with site in IE browser

Hi Pete,

I'll be honest and say that I don't really understand your question.

The status LED on emergency light fittings just shows that the batteries are being charged.

It is sometimes possible for the lamp on a maintained fitting to still work under emergency conditions when it has failed in normal mode.

I've just read your previous started threads.

Get an electrician in and don't put the residents in danger. You are not competent to undertake electrical work!

no disrespect your the caretaker its not your job seek a qualified electrician for advice

I have no intention of doing any electrical work in the place and always request they call an electrician.

Sorry about the abrupt replies mate but one is a moody Yorkshire man in denial and all the rest are worried about the Scottish vote

Why don't you answer the original question then? That would help the OP.
