Similar with ATC Squadron HQs. I had a fire inspection by the RAF one day. One of their recommendations was to have illuminated 'Fire Exit' sign at each exit 'but you must make sure the mains power is not turned off as the batteries will run down.
I explained that Wing Routine Orders required mains power off when the building was unoccupied.
'How often is that?' came the question. 'Every wednesday evening until friday evening, then after friday parade it's normally off until the following wednesday'.
They had no idea we only used the building (normally) twice a week.
Never got the illuminated signs either.
