I agree gentlemen and the issue I should have stated is when a furnace , for example, is at the far end of a basement we typically have a stairway lighting outlet controled by a set of three points at the top and bottom of the stairs. From the bottom of the stairs we have a series of pull chain fixtures along the way to the furnace sometimes a distance of 50 to 100 feet. Is this, in your opinion what the code says to the purist?
