An emergency lighting system includes a switching transistor inverter circuit for starting and operating a fluorescent lamp from a battery upon failure of line voltage. A lockout arrangement serves to shut down inverter operation should the lamp be removed from its fixture. Included is an interlock in the lamp fixture and circuitry responsive to an open condition at the interlock to ground the input to a system controller inhibit function thereby to effect removal of battery power from the inverter circuit.
