As Pete said is it an em light, seen lots of modular fittings with em packs which have been given dual supplies.
They normally are red but I have seen modular fittings connected across two circuits, one for the charge supply the other for the normal supply.The emergency ones are usually coloured red and basicaly are a plug and socket used to isolate the supply. thats the male end it should never be live once unplugged. It is like putting a standard 13A plug on to a live cable so if anyone touches the pins they recieve a shock.
basically its a ceiling rose that you can unplug the light from.

I had the same thing when we had to PA test a load of stuff at the German Market in Birmingham they had put a European plug on both end of a flex to power some 4 way power blocks , I smashed half the display trying to let go of it !!!Bit like metal CUs, lighting circuits seem to blow people's minds. Had a similar incident a few years back now when doing PAT, the manager of the shop had linked two banks of sockets together at the counter using a flex with a plug at both ends. Yep I got a belt and the manager nearly did, you were lucky.
