Hello,

currently working on a gym with 4/5 lighting circuits across two mains boards

I’m wanting to put some emergency lighting in there and I’m wondering how I do that with this number of circuits across different rcds

thanks in advance
 
EMs should be supplied from the same circuit/s as the local lighting, so i would be looking at wiring each EM (or group of EMs) to it's local circuit. depends on how the circuits are wired as to how you do this.
 
That looks a complicated area to install emergency lighting. Do you have a copy of BS5266:1
 
I see there is at least one self contained bulkhead in place. It is difficult to see from the pic but if the existing battens are wired through conduit I would fit led emergency battens to replace the existing as should be easy enough to rewire a permanent live. If aesthetics are important it wouldn't be a huge cost to replace the lot, some em and some standard. Might be an idea to get third party design so lux levels are correct and to provide photometric data.
