LED emergency light conversion kit

[joebell25]

Hi all,

In the middle of rewring a hotel, customer has just decided he wants a bespoke light fitting made for to hang in the 5 story stair well. He would also like to do away with the emergency light fittings on each landing, as apparently they look too "modern". The new fitting has 30x 6w LED's, I've seen a few of these emergency light conversion kits online, just wondered if anyone had used them and could recommend one.

You're heading for a minefield. Emergency lighting must conform to BS/EN 60598-2-22 as well as other requirements. If you take an existing fitting and convert it to be a maintained emergency light then any certification it originally carried will be invalid. There's lot of scope for problems here and there lots of scope of you being responsible if/when something goes wrong..

What lights have been installed on the landings? Could these be changed to combined emergency fittings? Failing that what about installing something discreet like the Thorn voyager LED emergency light.

I had originally suggested installing similar to the Thorn voyager but he want to keep to a certain theme and these don't fit in to his plan. Marvo I think you're right, I may take a side step on this one and leave it to the company making the light fitting. Thanks for your help.
