I searched for this but only came up with an older thread that didn't quite answer my question. I am wondering if "measured along the path of egress" means along a literal line, or over the area(required width along the path).
More context:
We got comments back on a recent permit that we need a photometric map:
I'm using Visual Lighting 2020 to do the luminaire layout and photometric map, and it has the option to do several types of calculation zones, including along a line. Part of me thinks that I should just do a line calculation zone following the egress path, and that will be great. But another part of me thinks it should be a 4ft wide path along that line(or wider if required by occupancy load).

I went back and studied section 1008.3.5 of the CBC and their comment pretty much sums it up, other than not mentioning the 40:1 rule.
