florescent tubes

[richardhammond]

i have been asked to check a small building to see if the electrics are safe, i need to do an IR test and was just confirming, do i need to remove all florescent tubes before i do the test?

Removing the tubes won't do you much good fluorescents aren't like incandesant lamps you have control gear in the flourescents.
