[QUOTE="Geoff1946, post: 438630, member: 28452"] I'm slightly unclear here. Do you mean its a maintained fitting, ie one which is normally powered direct from the mains but reverts to battery if the mains fails? Further do you mean that it now won't even come on with mains power on? If so, forget the batteries until you solve this. Assuming it worked before test ensure your new tube is serviceable and that the end pins are seated properly in the holders. If its not so simple you are probably best leaving it until someone more experienced can help. If you do decide to investigate further remember there is power to the fitting even with the wall switch off, so take care. [/QUOTE]
