I recently failed an inspection because the existing exit/emergency lights were on a dedicated circuit with a sp breaker lock. I was told that circuit needed to be tied in with a breaker that controls a row of lights in the vicinity of 2 emergency lights.(There are other e/e's throughout the building....a liquor store) Customer turns the fixtures on and off by the breakers. Just wondering if Art#700.12(F):exception would apply? Light fixtures and e/e's originate from the same panelboard. There are more than 3 rows of lights. My remedy was to tie e/e circuit in with a row of lights to be left on 24/7.
Any thoughts?
Thanks!
