Emergercy lighting connection

[sirsparkabit]

Hi Chaps and Chappesses,

Is it acceptable practice to feed the emergency lighting circuit from the lighting circuit mcb i,e both into B6 together, Then to fishtail switch for testing purposes.

My other option is to junction the lighting circuit to my emergency light circuit just after the cu but first option seems less hassle.

Absolutely fine mate.

This is how we`re doing the hotel at the moment.

The piccies`ll show what I mean, when we`re done!!!!!

But yes, there is zero problem with that. It is actually better than individuated, as you know the EM will operate if something takes out the 6A lighting mcb.

You will always get some (not)brightspark who will say NO, as this is 2 circuits then. I say rubbish! to that, its normal procedure.

Always best to feed self-contained Emg. ltg from the local ltg circuit. Some people only think in terms of a mains failure but ,as we know , if a stairway lighting circuit failed emgy. lights are not going to kick in.
