Hall lighting

[olly]

Is there anywhere in code that requires a light in a hallway? I have an 8' hall way wondering if code requires a light?

Has to be controlled by a switch, too

Actually the NEC does not require the actual light. It only requires a lighting outlet which is a provision that would let you install a luminaire.
