    Emergency Lighting query

    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?

    There is high level emergency lighting where I work. It keeps switching itself on and off whether the sensor is activated or not - its on timer so shouldn't be changeable like this. Anyone have an idea of the problem?

    Emergency lighting batteries - Power off?

    I have to change a number of batteries in emergency maintained lights, but am slightly concerned if I keep the mains power on I might potentially mess up the electronic modules. Turning the power off will slow me down so I prefer not to. Not something I do too often so advice appreciated?
