    Hi.

    Having looked at IS 3217 I can gather you can have maintained or non-maintained emergency lights and that there are combined luminaires. Can anyone tell me if it's permissible to have a mix of maintained and non-maintained emergency exit signs in the one area of a building, or is it strictly one or the other?

    Thanks,

    Emlyn.

    Exit signs should be maintained that's the current regs as far as I know without checking. The building could have been wired before this was a regulation. You can have switched maintained fittings that switch the lamp off, say on a key switch when leaving the building unoccupied.

    I had a look at the Building Regulations 2006 Technical Guidance Document B
    Fire Safety under 1.4.8, but I don't see anything about the lights being maintained or not.

    Any ideas where else I might look?

    Thanks.
