</div></div>Arrange the building to have a master lights off switch. Push it, then<br>
wait for the screams. This was used in a place I worked some years back.<br>
<br>
Use the intercom/page functions on the phones you have - dial the page<br>
button - say "Anyone left?" and if no-one screams, then turn the lights<br>
out.<br>
<br>
Arrange a ring-time for "night bells" - ring it. Wait for the screams.<br>
<br>
Many ways. The simplest might just be to use a lock system that can be<br>
opened from the inside. (alarms not withstanding)</blockquote><div><br>Nice ideas !<br>Thanks <br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">
