Recently I was checking some emergency lights were functioning/charging/etc. Found that three out of five of the fittings had ceased to work at all. Then noticed discolouration at the same point on each fitting (close to the green power LED). Inside each fitting the PCB was also discoloured in the same place each time.

These lights have been installed approx 2, maybe 2.5 years so a bit poor IMO. I am contemplating contacting the manufacturer, but was wandering if anyone else had had similar issues.

Ta.

Forgot to say the lights are the fairly standard floro type em.

Ive had problems with maintained lights from them that where led they failed within the first year fern Howard just gave us a load of batteries and a about 20 new lights as a good will gesture but that was down to my boss to sort out. Maybe worth a phone call to them
 
Thanks fellas. I forgot I posted this! I think I may avoid their fittings in future of others have had issues. Although saying that there is generally a lot of carpb out there. Thanks again.
