    After carrying out an emergency lighting test today 2 28w t5 lights won't switch back on. There's 230 at the L and N in. If I engage the ctu they work on battery. Any idea on how to get them off lock out in the ballast or am I looking at replacing them? Thanks lads

    After trying all previous methods, mcb,ctu,local fuses and disconnecting battery's in the lights i could not get either light going so when I belled out the ballast and inverters I realised the phase wasn't going "out" to the ballast, from the inverter on both fittings. Swapped out both inverters and both lights fired up immediately. Mad that both Inverters died during the same 3 hour test. Fecked my afternoon up rightly but working now. I'd never come across two fittings in the same room dieing during the same test before.
