Today's code question of the day touched on installing emergency lighting units. (Battery type). "Section 700.16 requires that the burning out of a light bulb cannot leave any area that requires emerg. illumination in total darkness". Did anyone ever have a job rejected for example if an emerg. lighting unit with two light heads was used, one head to light a hallway and the other aimed down a stairwell? Adhearing 100% to Section 700.16 seems impractical in the field. Does anyone out there have a practical method that might also satisfy the Code?
