Evening all
I use to have a really good booklet on EICR codes and examples but i cant seem to find it now! Can anybody recommend a helpful page/print out for this?
Also can anyone point me to a good page/print out for emergency lighting regs, positions etc...
Thanks
I have recently passed my Fire Alarm and Emergency Lighting Training and have been approached by a friend with regards to Assessing the Emergency Lighting for a local company.
I have conducted a visual check and the system is clearly Non Compliant, there are No Documents in respect of Plans...
I replaced the emergency lights in a small block of flats about 6 months ago, but the last time I did a 3 hour emergency light test was a year ago. Common sense says that I don't need to test the new emergency lights until they are a year old, but any clarification appreciated?
It's been a while since I tested emergency lights and I just wanted to clarify something.
If the lights not working and the green LED light is off, is this an inverter and if the LED light is off and the lights still not working is this a dead battery?
Good morning all,
I have a question about emergency lighting and the requirement of an indicator light stating that it is on mains power and charging.
The centre that I work at has been refurbed and new LED type emergency lights installed at very high level, I don't know what MCB's control them...
Hi guys came across something I've not seen before and has me puzzled. I've tested quite a few emergency lighting systems over the years but I'm working in a older church with the emergency lighting supplied from a individual consumer unit wired in Pyro. The rest of the Installation is split...
Hi all,
I occasionally being asked to do fire alarm testing and emergency lighting testing. I work mainly on domestic installs but wondering what sort of qualification/competency you must have in order to carry those tasks. And is it any specific schemes like NIC/NAPIT does have to be involved...
Hello, I feel a bit stupid asking this on site now as the spark looking after me has already mentioned it, but why would an emmergency lighting system have a separate 2-core fire performance cable (black and white cores) pulled in with the FP200? I’m sure it’s called a ‘bell’ or ‘belling’ cable...
Kindly refer the attached Image. There are 2 Places at which I can give reference signals for Emergency lighting.
1. At MXC
2. At LTC (Unswitched & Switched)
What is the difference between the above two? why there is a need to provide input at two different locations?

Hi all,
been a while - hello!
A question for the collective brain - I'm about to do a series of inspections on an ANIMAL hospital. This in itself has always vexed me as to how to apply the special location medical rules as 1) a critical life-threatening operation is the same whether it's...
could someone please post a diagram for a 2-way keyswitch operated emergency lighting circuit.
Circuit includes one emergency light and 3 normal lights
Thanks in advance
Hi as part of my job I have started doing minor maintenance in our warehouse and office block .I have a light out in the office which is a ceiling light that sits in the suspended ceiling .It operates as a normal light and when power is turned of for that lighting circuit the light also has a...
We have a battery operated device that needs to operate when there is a power cut, in effect like an emergency light fitting would.
Can any one help with a switch that will be triggered when power to the property is lost so that the battery operated device will run the frost protection device...
First year apprentice here, want to put a non maintained emergency light in where the consumer unit is going onto the lighting circuit for the new kitchen we’re doing with a switch too, would I do this by coming from breaker to emergency light fitting as this is the closest with L-N-E then out...
Hi, here's a good one - replaced 15 E-lights recently, (tube type replaced with Newlec led type), and noticed one of the old outside Thorn 2D E-lights was on when driving past a few days later. The Thorn lights are all up to spec and function as they should. Went to investigate and it seems that...
Evening all,
As you can see from the title I have not had a good day.
For the second time in my 6 year career I made a small nick in a water pipe whilst taking up the floorboards (using multitool). i thought i was prepared from the last time as I bought some clamps. However, they could not fit...
Today I've been working with an old emergency bulkhead with 26W 2D 4 pin, and 6W florescent tube.
When I replaced the 2D bulb, only a faint light could be seen coming from it. I assumed because there had been some physical damage to the fitting, that a component inside was bad.
As I went to...
Hi,
Quick Q from a newbie. I had a NICIEC registered electrician install an isolation switch and extractor fan in my downstairs bathroom. I’m now replacing one of the down lights and found what is a surprising mess of wires in the false ceiling, all joined together with a terminal block (centre...
