It’s always interesting to watch how things are done in other countries. Here in the UK most of our emergency lighting has local test switches, often found close to the standard light switches. These test switches are recessed so you need a key to operate them.
As mentioned by others is always interesting to see how things are done in different countries. I'm in Australia and we (also being a Commonwealth country) use the green ISO running man exit signs. We have some twin head emergency fittings used in larger areas but use small round (now LED) fittings in ceiling grids. An old brand which has become generic is called spitfires. They are either wired to lighting supply circuit in the area they are fitted or more commonly are connected back to a common control board that has a test button and a timer. The newest types can self test and show different warning LED colours or can have signalling to a building management system
There's been a bunch of somewhat major renovations but none ever of the whole building at once other than seismic upgrade there's been probably 100 of renovations over the years of the buildings life and the thought has crossed my mind as well of what if you just ripped everything out and restarted but I would assume it's not practical to do so
In UK most lighting is labled which fuseborad and circuit, yes it's a pain to labled each light, but when up grades are done and testing makes you job easy. Each stair well in UK is marked A B C D E F when on a site map.
Cool video. At the school I go to a cage was beat up so the next day we got a new one and it was smaller because they don't make big cages anymore so we had to replace the remote head too for a smaller one.
46:20 That's a double bass. The bow should be run across the string over the gap between the finger board and the bridge. The finger board is the black thing that you played above, and the bridge is the light wood structure that holds up the strings.
If anyone is interested in a few old chlorides or sure lites 70-90s let me know I have piles of them salvaged from demo I did recently. I used to collect them when I was young and I couldn’t pass up not taking chlorides god I love those big bulky rare monsters
Keep maintenance bad emergency lights or something. Good work on school maintenance! 😊👍🏻 I hope not let burn battery or burn lights. (Would replace new battery or new LED lights…) 🥸🔋💡
If this building was sprinklered since the original building, did it have older sprinkler head’s before these, or were they the original sprinkler heads?
Sprinklers were installed with the seismic upgrade project in 2015 along with a new fire alarm system and new boilers as well as major structural changes with walls being removed and sheer walls being added the renovation talked about in this video was done in 2020
question you said some of those breakers would blow up in your face if you flipped them on, being an electrician why wouldn't you pop the panel cover off and remove the wire from the breaker so someone can't accidentally turn it on not knowing? just curious.
@@nics-systems-electric Oh okay, I thought you were talking about the elevator lol. But yeah, I can probably see why, that switch is so freaking big. It looks like you may also need a hammer just to get it to turn back on.
56:16 Nic: "No one set the fire alarms off. I don't want my camera to fall." EST QuickStart QS4: "Well then, Nic, If no one sets me off, then I will just put a random point into alarm and make your phone fall off my fire bell!"
It would be a less stylish. We have a middle school from 1968 that is like a time capsule because it was never renovated all this time. This looks to be a well funded school district, that music room is better equipped than ours.
The few weeks ago I was at a fair and I went into one of the areas (called toon town, it was creepy in there), and there was an emergency light that was flickering and clicking, also to mention in the mirror fun house they had an emergency light with the heads removed and there wasn’t any remote heads nearby
OMGG Nic I have a video you’ll laugh your behind off when ya watch it. You’ve got me email so send me one and I’ll send you it or try to figure out how to upload it on here but I won’t want the world to see this craziness LOL 😂😂. Trust me you’ll of all people appreciate this lighting menagerie LOL!!!! Backfeeding OMGG a 2nd time. And the district paid good money for this and this is what you all get out of it. Not right. I’ll send ya that vid a a couple others in other situations if you’d like. Might as well see my adventures in paradise 😂😂. Hope you’re having a good one 😉

When they did that major renovation to this building, they should have started from scratch in the electrical side of things!

aint no way you watched whole vid it came out 5 minutes ago?
@@ObamnaSoda513 he was tapping it forward
@@Eterrnal_Andrew oof his vids are good though not sure why he would do that

Yeah I'm a dumbass I don't know how to use it lol
@@nics-systems-electric Tbh, I wouldn't know either if I didn't play the cello in my school's orchestra.
56:47 - 56:50 amazing voice acting emergency light and Nic! really captured how and elephant sounds
No doubt about it; Jamie has musical talent . As for the light switch that turns off the exits; that's a big whopping no-no.
1 tune on the bells was the WNN(World News Now) polka

48:58 to 51:50 reminds me of the good time I use to have at my last place of employment with the other maintenance guys When I worked nights
51:18 the bells are called desk bells

Contractor was supposed to come back and fix the problem and they never did it so who knows
@@nics-systems-electric gotta love it being in the trades it's never a dull moment 😂
35:42 OMG the main service disconnect huh? Make sure no one needs to use the elevator 😂😂😂
Also may not turn back on afterwards
@@nics-systems-electric Is that elevator a piece of garbage?
@@IanGSully I was speaking about the main breaker
@@nics-systems-electric Oh okay, I thought you were talking about the elevator lol. But yeah, I can probably see why, that switch is so freaking big. It looks like you may also need a hammer just to get it to turn back on.
@@IanGSully sometimes old switchgear will fail during operation and you won't be able to turn it back on
I noticed that most fuse board's are not marked up for power circuits and lighting to the rooms to help with helping to locate the correct breaker.

I wonder what this school actually looked like before it was renovated
