Discuss Emergency lights/standard lights in the UK Electrical Forum area at ElectriciansForums.net

Each emergency luminare should have a rating plate stating its mode of operation. The rating plate will have numbers and letters on it.
X = self contained, meaning all parts for its operation are contained within the fitting.
1 = maintained.
0 = non maintained.
180 = 3 hours duration.
A maintained fitting should always be illuminated at material times.
You need a copy of BS5266.
 
They are maintained at material times, when required, when the sensor switches them on. Maintained.

They are a combined fitting contains 2 separate lamps.
1 from the switched supply - non emergency
The other is a non maintained emergency lamp supplied from the batteries and only coming on when power fails
