Emergency lighting

[croepha]

it would be good if we had illuminated exit signs, but would also be good if there was some battery backup lights in the space... We aren't the most tidy, and when the power goes out, there are many hazards

[croepha]

Apparently there already exists some emergency exit signs, I suppose these just need to be troubleshooted

at the Tuesday meeting, Loren/Mcint said he would work on this

@mcint , The new in box signs are on the bottom shelf on the black shelves where the tshirts are! If you are around Friday afternoon / early evening I am planning to be in the space and work on stuff a little here and there and could help. I mean at least moral support and holding the ladder for you.

I'm looking at this tonight. I see exit signs up. If those are dead, I'll replace them. Otherwise I'm not sure where these should go.

[mcint]

The existing signs are lit. Using the test button does not put out the exit lights, but it also doesn't illuminate the wide area halogens.

Unless the EXIT lettering turned off during the power outage, this isn't needed. If we want the wide illumination emergency lights, we want a bigger battery. I'll check on power requirements of the halogen area lights and emergency requirements, and report.

Can someone speak to what prompted this task?

[lizzard]

I think a) we wanted to make sure the signs work when the power goes out, and no one had formally checked them all b) When the power actually went out a couple of weeks ago, I believe it was super dark and people had difficulty seeing to move around in the space, but someone who was there should be able to give more info (TJ maybe?)

[lizzard]

The test should be actually throwing the breakers to turn off power to the space

So there's quite a bit going on at the space, and while this is important, I am deprioritizing this in favor of some newer tickets to reflect what is actively being worked on
