Old & dangerous emergency lights

These two fittings are only two of seven that we have replaced in a local chinese restaurant today,

The one fitting with the MES (miniture edison screw) lamps sill operates as an emergency light but having a bayonet fitting with a pygmy lamp running off of the supply is not a good idea.

the local fire officer had been onto the site and ordered them to review the emergency lighting system.

our company was asked to quote for the work and got it,

i am never surprised by the state of such fittings, but these were new one to me!!

the ages of the fittings were, the oldest 1981 and the newest 1984 !!!
