  • Electricians, what's the easiest way to integrate emergency lighting into a circuit?

    Say I have 10 lights (a mix of normal bulkhead lights, interspersed with non-maintained combined emergency lights) that are all operated by a single switch, does this mean that the emergency lighting would turn on every time I switch the other lights off? Would I need to run a permanent live to the emergency lights?

    Essentially I want to light a big room and operate the lot with one switch, but have half the lights function as emergency lights. Is this stupid? Should I just have some emergency lights on an entirely separate circuit?

  • Would I need to run a permanent live to the emergency lights?

    Yes, otherwise they will interpret "turning off the lights" as "interruption of supply" πŸ™‚

    Cheers - that’s what I suspected. I guess I’ll just run a separate permanent live πŸ‘
