The lamp holder's not even connected to the battery pack.
 
the wiring looks correct to me,
I presume its a 2D style led panel that is attached. the 4 coloured singles go direct to the led's as a low voltage supply when the mains fails.
have you checked that you get power between N and L1 (next to the earth) at all times and that the power drops out when the breaker is off?

Yes turn breaker off and no power there
 
it looks like a combined battery and charger unit, I suspect the battery has failed, if its being powered up correctly I would expect a tell tale led to show on the surface of the lamp somewhere (possibly a green led)
when you remove the power, the tell tale lamp should go off and the light normally comes on at half brightness until the battery is flat.

Edit, just zoomed in on picture, confirming the detail above.

Does the indicator light work to show the battery is charging?
Just make sure that the internal battery is properly connected in the emergency pack as they can be a bit finicky

Yes once power is on the green light comes on, which I presume means it’s charging

Ok will check but did check 2 lights and they was the same no light once breaker was off
 
Did the green charge indicator ever come on, if not the no power to PL. Is the test switch in test mode?

most I've fitted come with some charge in the battery but if these are totally dead then they may require some charging to function.

So at the min the lights are switched by photocell and come on at night so the batteries should be charged and test mode does nothing
