Guest DavidBlack Posted August 14, 2014 Report Share Posted August 14, 2014 Hi, can you help? I have some illuminated battery backed up exit signs (with running man). They are wired to come on with the normal lights, and do stay on on mains failure. I feel this is incorrect as they should be powered at all times (even if the bulb is normally off. Could you please clarify for me? David Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Safelincs Posted August 14, 2014 Report Share Posted August 14, 2014 Hi David Maintained emergency lights are often available as 'switchable' units. This means that they can be switched on and off with a normal light switch. This is useful in areas where there is no requirement for constant lighting, e.g. stairwells in a high-rise block of flats, where the light is only required when somebody takes the stairs instead of the lift. The emergency lights will, of course, still come on in case of a power failure, even when the switch is in the ‘off’ position. Harry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Mitch Posted September 29, 2021 Report Share Posted September 29, 2021 I have an emergency light that came on this morning and has not shut off. It has not been on previously unless power has been lost. Can someone please explain. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Sutton Posted November 1, 2021 Report Share Posted November 1, 2021 It looks like a fault if it is not a non maintained system. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
