Guest SteveMile Posted November 26, 2013 Report Share Posted November 26, 2013 Hi there Can I ask how to change batteries in emergency lights? Also, would you consider the changing of the batteries in emergency lights a task capable and expected of a non qualified person? Your advice would be appreciated. Thanks Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Sutton Posted November 26, 2013 Report Share Posted November 26, 2013 What type of emergency light is it, central batteries, commercial self contained type or a domestic self contained. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Ringtail Lighting Posted November 28, 2013 Report Share Posted November 28, 2013 The changing of batteries in emergency lighting is a task for a qualified electrician (according to fire safety regulations) You could, in theory, depending on the business and lighting application have a competent individual change the batteries, however the health and safety/ risk assessment officer MUST be notified and consulted. I would not recommend an unqualified individual replace batteries for risk of voiding health and safety/fire safety protocol. Joseph Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnthonyB Posted April 13, 2018 Report Share Posted April 13, 2018 If it's a self contained bulkhead they are so cheap for complete new fittings why bother fiddling around, just replace the lot. If it's a more expensive conversion kit there may be some saving, but if you aren't competent then you are risking breaking the law, bodging it up so they don't work (or even start a fire). It's not changing a bulb. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
