Emergency lights or standard

[Bradley6969]

emergency lights not coming on when breaker is switched off, are these wired just for use as normal lights rather than emergency??? Sorry not done much emergency lights before

 

[Bradley6969]

Looking at it further the battery module should be connected to perm or a link between as once power is switched off no power to battery pack?

The lamp holder's not even connected to the battery pack.

Overthinking, will linking 1 and 2 work with emergency

the wiring looks correct to me,
I presume its a 2D style led panel that is attached. the 4 coloured singles go direct to the led's as a low voltage supply when the mains fails.
have you checked that you get power between N and L1 (next to the earth) at all times and that the power drops out when the breaker is off?

Have you actually connected the battery.

Yes turn breaker off and no power there

Yes

 

[James]

it looks like a combined battery and charger unit, I suspect the battery has failed, if its being powered up correctly I would expect a tell tale led to show on the surface of the lamp somewhere (possibly a green led)
when you remove the power, the tell tale lamp should go off and the light normally comes on at half brightness until the battery is flat.

Edit, just zoomed in on picture, confirming the detail above.

Does the indicator light work to show the battery is charging?
Just make sure that the internal battery is properly connected in the emergency pack as they can be a bit finicky

Yes once power is on the green light comes on, which I presume means it’s charging

Ok will check but did check 2 lights and they was the same no light once breaker was off

Are the switch and perm lives fed from the same breaker?

 

[SparkyAndGeorge]

the battery is not connected or the battery has failed, what environment is this fitting installed in?

Outside toilet block, all inside emergencies work

Perm is from breaker to contactor then lights
Switch is straight from key switch but nothing happens when switching key switch

 

[GBDamo]

Did the green charge indicator ever come on, if not the no power to PL. Is the test switch in test mode?

most I've fitted come with some charge in the battery but if these are totally dead then they may require some charging to function.

Surely that's arse about face, PL should be from test switch and SL from contractor?

So at the min the lights are switched by photocell and come on at night so the batteries should be charged and test mode does nothing

Fed via photocell too
