Thanks Matt for your assessment of the electricity consumption/billing.
In view of the minuscule savings I would prefer the status quo to remain without the added expense of converting. I also prefer the lights burning on my floor in view of previous situations that have occurred.

I think they are there but seem to have been turned off because of residents complaints about walking out into a dark lobby for a moment before the lights come on. (Is that correct Darren ?) Could we re-enable all but level 6 ?

You can change the tubes over to led tubes with integrated sensors they can be installed by a non electrician as they are plug and play and come with a dummy starter. They come on at a low level normally then when the sensor goes off they turn up to full brightness.

>> A. Complete approval from BMC is still outstanding. When Prime Pumps attended site to replace the sewer grinder pump they found that when the pumps around the sewer pit were installed to stop the ground water leak into P4 the wiring was mixed up so the new panel was actually controlling the sewer grinder pumps instead of the ground water pumps. Turns out that the sewer pump is fine and the ground water pumps around the sewer pit had both failed. The control panels have been relabelled and both sewer ground water pumps have been replaced with better quality units. We would like to have the P4 pooling water cleaned up and monitor whether the issue remains now that the system is working as designed.
