Hi Guys
I've fitted a few emergency lighting circuits to both domestic and commercial installs before, I've come across one I can't get my head round, this is going to be in a small supermarket one of these locals etc the existing lighting in the retail area is installed with three banks of...
I've been asked by a client to 'mask off' the green LED charging indictor lamps within several emergency lights fitted within bedrooms on a project I'm working on. I've searched to see if this goes against any regs or manufacturers instructions but haven't found anything. Has anyone done this...
Hello
Got a customer who needs certification for a monthly emergency lighting test. What would be the best cert to provide them with? The NICEIC certs all seem to relate to an annual test.
Thanks
Hi folks,
Can anyone recommend a reliable brand for emergency lighting bulkheads please? I have a job coming up to replace 30 odd units.
I have used JCC in the past, to my cost as they had a high failure rate within the 1st couple of years. I've had good experiences with Ansell products but...
If one of your coworkers suffers a severe electric shock, your first instinct will most likely be to rush to their rescue. But first, pause and reflect. Because the human body is a good conductor of electricity, the charge that just travelled through your coworker could readily move into you if...
Hi guys,
Been asked to fit 2 lights and a switch, which in reality turned out to be rewiring a multiple PIR setup to a single switch, adding multiple other fittings and emergency lighting (all of the lights were selected and at the depot when I got there) they were supplied by the lighting...

Gents,
What is your view from this this clause from BS5266?
If you have a lobby with that is part of an escape route that has one fitting, I have never seen an additional fitting being added to satisfy this clause. Even in rooms with two fittings, I have rarely seen both being used as...

Its for a 4.35m x 2.8m plant room with ceiling heigh of 2.2m. To be installing 4x 1700mm twin 58w flourescent lights. Only success I've had with any fluorescent fitting is that during...
Before I pay an electrician to come check my work, I thought it worth a post here.
I don't want to pay the cost of a small car for a whole-house generators I hope never to use, and then have to maintain it. A small inverter generator is enough to get by one, I just need it handy and ready. And...
I'm starting a new construction single-family residence, I know with the 2020 NEC they require an emergency disconnect on the exterior of the home. My confusion is do I treat the emergency disconnect as the main disconnect, and the main breaker panel would be wired like a subpanel with separate...
Hi all can a Maintained emergency exit bulk head light fed from non lighting circuit if it is correctly fused and test point provided if no local lighting circuit is available ?
so it is lit all the time and would be in the case of a power failure
Two lighting circuits covering various communal areas on two floors of a HMO.
The non-maintained emergency lighting that covers those areas is on a separate circuit (actually with the fire alarm). So either of the lighting breakers could trip and the relevant lighting wouldn't come on.

Had an issue on site where 12 JCC Toughbays (JC 040006) lights over 7 circuits all have the same issue.
Turn on - 100% on as expected
Power off SL - off/ charging as expected
Turn off at key/sw - off/ not charing as expected
If you turn rcbo back on and then flick the key sw to on the non...
Hi
So I'd like a maintained emergency light but without the automatic emergency function to trigger in the event of power failure. In other words I'd like a light connected to the mains that has a battery back up in the event of a power failure but I don't want it to come on automatically. Only...
Afternoon all...
The customer has a number of small green lights in the ceiling that are always on. This is a bed and breakfast/hotel.
I had assumed they were emergency lights, although the only emergency lights I have come across before are ones that only come on when there is a power cut...
Hi!!
I'm trying to complete a one line diagram to appease my electric company (AEP Texas). AEP is telling me:
"
1) Please note that the AC Disconnect cannot be connected directly to the meter; it must go thru the service panel. One Line will need to be revised.
2) NOTE: If a side line tap is...
