Is it o.k. to use a non switched fused connection unit as an emergency light test switch? If not why not?

    Why would you want to do that, to answer your question I can't a reason against it has it will still simulate power loss when testing.

    With fish key switches the house owner can lose them, I have often found this situation.  Also the switches  can be left in the wrong position.
