I know this has been debated before, occupancy sensors need a by pass switch, but what is the point in having the sensors when someone will just turn on the bypass switch and leave it on forever.
I have an electrical room with 6 lights. I'm thinking about leaving 4 lights on a typical occupancy sensor, and just controlling the other two lights with a regular on/off switch. Would that be code compliant with 110.26(D)? Or could that paragraph be interpreted to mean "none of the lights shall have automatic only control"?
This building just so happens to have an emergency generator, and ATS's in the electrical room. So the two lights I would switch also have generator power and battery backup.
