The fittings are already in place, they are twin 70W fluoros, conduit run is about 40MWhat fittings are you planning for....and how long a conduit run?

Galv conduit to individual metal clad S/FCU's to each fitting !Why expensive?
6ft led replacement lamps are total carp...….unless they've improved 10 fold in the last couple of years.Galv conduit to individual metal clad S/FCU's to each fitting !
Lamps could be changed to LED, and do away with the ballast (heat) !

You could look at swa or hi tuff, if appropriate, terminated in conduit boxes with plug in roses.
Still don't get this fcu business.
Not danger, convenience.I don't quite see the point here, any and every lighting circuit has the same potential for a fault at one fitting to take out the whole circuit, what's so special in this particular case?
If there is a danger from the loss of the lighting circuit then a correctly designed emergency lighting system is needed.
If the wiring's fried, I can't see the fittings being in the best of nick.The wiring is fried.
The current installation needs replacing.
The correct method for the environment is galv.
Doing anything to the fittings at the moment is just cost with no immediate necessity.
If it WAS done as you suggest then we wouldn't be having this chat.
(other than the SY)
Workshop, it's high level (2.5m) but there are hinged recoil air lines all along the wall so quite a high likelihood of mechanical damage. No other realistic route either.If the wiring's fried, I can't see the fittings being in the best of nick.
You're saying galv in the envionment.....what is the environment?
I think it may be the ballasts …. tucked up the side of 'em….pretty Basec that, Charlie.SWA into galv thru boxes wired into click roses?
What type of fluorescent fittings are currently installed?
Do you still have the ‘fried’ cable?
Please send it to Basec, they will inspectigate why and how it is fried..
Ten LED non-corrosives would be about £400. If they're all on for full working days it wouldn't take long for the power saving to pay for the lot. Wouldn't have thought the difference between LED and fluorescents would add too much to the quote.They still need a circuit running in as the YY is fried, due to the environment it needs to be in galv.
Adding ten LED non corrosives to the bill would be a no go.
Why expensive? Just replace the fittings and feed from plug in roses so that you can isolate any faulty ones.

there is also room in ther to suggest the customer and hes employees would benifit from changing some of these fittings for emergancy fittings.
