[QUOTE="kerching, post: 438632, member: 11861"] Often there is one 'box' in these fittings that does mains and mains fail running. In me experience it is quite common for fitting to work in one mode and not the other, particularly after a mains fail a block,of flats near me has had a third party do the M3 testing ( total wazzocks, did not even switch mains board back on on one floor! Don't know why it was off as there is a switch that says 'emergency lighting test'.....W⚓️S ) anyway, their testing has toasted 30 of the fittings....some on mains some on fail....so I have got the job of swapping the lot whilst they have been potted 😃😃😃😃 [/QUOTE]
