Lots of great info there Joe. Thanks. #StaySafe
I'm surprised it's not mandatory in all new dwellings yet, with LED lighting more reliable these days it would be easy enough to include 2 or 3 emergency lights on all floors of a house. Good info boss. 😁👍
Indeed. And one of the brightest ideas I've seen from one of the CZcams Sparks (sorry, I forget who) is fitting an emergency light that illuminates the consumer unit. Because the damn thing is always in some particularly dark spot and you can never find a working torch when you need one.
Easy to fit but would they be tested or if self test will it be recorded?
Can you pls make a video of emergency light test switch installation
There is a lot to take in when sorting out emergency lights as most equipment has to have an emergency light as well. The list is endless.
What country/s does the regulatory reform...2005 document apply to?
It would be UK wide, otherwise it would have a specification in the title.
My company has given me jobs to test emergency lighting on blocks of flats and I've found a number of failures which I've reported back , they've asked me to replace faulty units however the new ones have different fixings and some require extending mains cables , I'm not a qualified electrician and I told my company I feel uncomfortable carrying out this work , but they say you only have to be a competent person not a electrician, can you please advise me where I stand .
What qualifications and training do you have and who’s supervising your work?
@@efixx I don't have any formal qualifications I've worked as a alarm engineer for many years and no I'm not being supervised , I'm booked on a 2 day course in June though .
Only need emergency lighting if you are planning to have an emergency 🙄
Isn't an emergency, by definition, unplanned? 🤔
@@efixx can’t talk, Spanish Inquisition 👺
😂👍 Love it.
@@efixx I should have installed some emergency lighting!
@@efixx not if you plan for one ☝🏼 Hence emergency lighting 😁
