Emergency lighting battery packs

[gerard]

Hi,

Can normal florescent lights be converted into emergency luminaires? And if so, how?

YES, but it would be more cost effective to just change the fittings. Although instruction leaflets will tell you what you need to add in order to convert a particular fitting to an emergency type. It could cost you a small fortune to add battery packs, extra wiring, connector blocks etc. It also depends on the type of emergency fitting that you want. Ie would you need a neon indicator for example? Or perhaps a particular fitting should be replaced by a 'running man' type fitting. Hard to say without looking at the job spec.
