[QUOTE="Mr T, post: 232018, member: 5649"] deffo sounds like a non maintained fitting... in which case you have your emergency live from L1 or Load side of the key switch (depending on what type of key switch you have) and a neutral either from the switch (if you have taken mains there or from another lighting point) non maintained means the light would be out in normal circumstances with a charge light on and in the event of a loss of power then the em live would be broken and the battery would kick in (the battery is often left disconnected in transit) Maintained Fittings have the L1 & L2 as they require an emergency live and a switch live so the light can operate as a normal light ( if you dont have an emergency live at the light then the L1 & L2 can be linked at the fitting which means the light will operate via the switch and go into battery mode when the switch is open I mean deffo sounds like a maintained fitting:^O [/QUOTE]
