Greg, I think I may have found a solution for one of my problems, the egress lighting we discussed on page 2. I should be able to tie the emergency ballast straight into the hot wire (120 volts)so that the fixture stays on all the time. I would just wirenut off the switch leg to the fixture, and have a hot wire going to the test switch and also straight into the emergency ballast which feeds the regular ballast. That way they can turn the rest of the hall lights off at nights and on the weekends, plus it seems I have the right voltage on the hot wire, so that should take care of those fixtures at least. Got to give my wife a little credit here. We was going over the whole scheme again, and she mentioned something to that effect, and the light bulb went off in my head:) I looked at the ballast diagram again, and it should work. Probably the way it was ment to be to start with:)
