Continuously switching of the mains power supply that is connected to emergency light fittings during the construction
phase of an installation will cause these fittings to discharge and charge their batteries many times over a short period;
this can shorten the life of the battery and will also result in shortened emergency lamp life. ABB does not recommend
such practices and may not honour the warranty on batteries when they are subjected to such harsh operating
conditions. Emergency light fittings are designed to be discharge tested once every 6 months as per AS/NZS2293.2,
subjecting the product to repeated discharge or charge cycles is regarded as an abuse of the fittings.
