Hello
I'm new here and have a question on "Emergency / Exit fixtures". Our one story cement block building in Philadelphia Pa has exit signs in each office/room (no windows in offices or meeting rooms). The Exit fixtures are all on one breaker (great for annual battery testing).
After a recent power outage we decided to add emergency lighting in each room. Two ECs
have suggested we replace the "Exit fixtures" with "Exit / Emergency combo fixtures".
One EC said just replace the "Exit fixtures" with "Exit / Emergency combo fixtures", the other EC said they should be wired to the lighting circuit of each room (in case the breaker for that room trips). They both said their proposal was code compliant.
Which one is code compliant?
Thanks for the help:
George
