Well, every cloud and all that... scored 4 9.6V 2500mAh NiCd packs from frogeyes (type of emergency light), 3 look good, and two 300VA 240V pri, 12V sec toroidals (one slightly baked) from the site we're building the temporary morgue.
Also a couple of single point LED em fittings, LiIon rechargeables in them are toast, but they're pretty high output and the diffuser/lens
on them is a good corridor pattern.
Might be able to find a few more; most have been removed, but there are some more difficult to access places where they're still in.
The site is a recently decommissioned leisure centre, and in fact if they'd waited about 3 weeks, we'd still have mains.
As it is we're having to fit new boards and cables, since we can't trust anything existing due to vandalism etc. And powering it off diesel gennies... I go to sleep each night with a nasty cough and the stink of diesel exhaust in my nostrils, despite changing clothes etc.
These little gennies are only 6kVA, temps while we get wired, and then the nice folks at Aggreko are bringing us a proper containerised 300kVA jobby.
The effing retards that "manage" us have really been pissing me off. Big list of extra PPE and procedures for preventing the spread of COVID-19 while we are building this shit, which they promptly invalidate by not providing enough welfare to maintain "social distancing", not supplying soap, hand sanitiser, or paper towels.
But we have a crap-ton of masks, gloves, and paper suits (which no-one uses). They even got some special red paper suits, hard-hats with full face shields and told us to wear them. We told them to fuck off.
The local medical bigwigs came to see how we are doing with their new facility, and just laughed like I did when they saw what the management were trying to get us to wear.
It's not ebola ffs... "it has the same effects" was the reply I got when I said this. At this point, I realised the only brain cells in the room were mine, and stopped bothering.
Next event of them pissing in our faces and telling us it's raining came when we were told that our other sites would be reopening next week.
Are these "essential"? No. Will we be going back to work? No. We will take furlough, and tell them to "gfy".

@Specmaster, even trimming off blank and non-essential pages, there's 28, so two posts needed...
