[QUOTE="thumbprints, post: 438625, member: 28543"] Hello, I was running an emergency lighting test at the building I work in. One of the lights I tested came on when I ran the test, and then gradually sputtered out. I noticed the fluorescent bulb was a bit dark so I changed it, but the light won't come on again, even at the main switch, where there are 2 other lights working fine. The battery charging LED is still lit green. Will replacing the battery solve the issue? I would have thought it would still come on at the mains even if the battery wasn't charged. The starter motor is not on view on the lighting & I am uncertain where to locate that ATM but thought it might be either that or the ballast, but don't want to get into that as I've not dealt with it before. [URL="https://goo.gl/photos/BHT62WNBfMXxopJn6"]Photo of the light fitting is here.[/URL] I know this is probably a very simple thing to fix. Obviously I'm very new to this and am essentially learning on the job, but my boss is away for a while and I wanted to crack this before he is back so I was hoping I might find a solution here. Please go easy on me I'm a novice with this. Thanks in advance, Jez [/QUOTE]
