Also now illegal to have fire exit signs that do not have either the British Standard or European running man pictogram
Don't get me started on that one! More idiocy from a bunch of Brussels and Whitehall bureaucrats who think that when people go to another country they're too stupid to work out that exit, sortie, Ausgang, or salida all mean the same thing. [Linked Image] Even if you'd never seen the language before, how long would it really take to figure out that "xxxx" means "exit" when you keep seeing it over doors?

So we end up with thousands of perfectly good exit signs in landfill (which they claim they are trying to avoid!) and a bill to business of millions so we can have a pictogram of a man running -- Just what fire officers tell people not to do in an emergency. [Linked Image]

O.K., rant over.....

Maybe there's something in the photos I'm missing, but I can't actually see that much wrong. The fuse on the PC board of the first one looks as though it's been replaced with the wrong type. On the second fixture it looks as though the resistor below the transformer might have caused a little charring to the board, but I can't see anything else that really stands out as a problem.

John,

having a bayonet fitting with a pygmy lamp running off of the supply is not a good idea

What's the problem with a BC pigmy lamp?
