Adding test switch to emergency lighting Discussion ThreadAdding test switch to emergency lighting Electrical Advice
I’m at the funeral directors clients at the moment testing their EM lights.
Only the newer lights I put in have a test switch fitted.
I’ll be recommending addition lights in the WC and staff rooms. Pitch dark in there.
There are 2 other EM lights above exit doors… they have been replaced in the past with LED, but there is no, and never has been, a local test switch. I’ve had to isolate the circuits completely.
Is there a product that can be fitted to the emergency light itself to facilitate a test switch?
Something like a panel mount button, but using a key? Like a test switch key rather than a key key… if you know what I mean.
There’s 20mm knockouts on the fittings, so easy enough to add one on.
I could of course, mount a normal pattress box and key switch… but that seems a bit more work.
