I've got a couple of Thorn weatherproof 58w single fluorescent light fittings with Tridonic Atco emergency modules and electronic ballasts. However I'd like to use them as ordinary switched light fittings, with no permanent live. Would it be a straightforward conversion or more trouble than they're worth?

Look at the diagram on the electronic ballast and wire as that, remove the batteries and the emergency module,there will be 4 lamp leads plus a supply
If its a combined unit or you dont want to adapt you can just connect the switchline to the permanent feed terminal and link to the switchfeed terminal, remove the battery and it will work as a normal light, but id personally remove the emergency module if seperate
