roger said:I think to be correct, 220.14 J allows as many Lighting OUTLETS as you want, not fixtures.
I think 220.14 is saying:
...the outlets specified in (J)(1), (J)(2), and (J)(3) are included in the general lighting load calculations of 220.12.
No additional load calculations shall be required for such outlets.
100 says:
Which says to ME...the math is DONE.Lighting Outlet.
An outlet intended for the direct connection of a lampholder, a luminaire (lighting fixture), or a pendant cord terminating in a lampholder.
EDIT: Fixing quotes
ryan_618 said:But isn't a luminaire connected to a lighting outlet?
celtic said:Roger...
how many rooms in a home require lighing outlets?
how many rooms can use a switched recpt. to meet that requirement?
sandsnow said:What about 210.23?
In no case shall the load exceed the branch circuit ampere rating. (and it goes on from there)
celtic said:Only if you know the load...in the case of Roger and his KNOWN lighting plan.
For GENERAL lighting/recpts...how can you exceed what is is UNKNOWN?
I?m with Larry on this one. 210.23 is the article that answers Ryan?s original question.sandsnow said:What about 210.23?
sandsnow said:I think Ryan is possibly looking for a deficiency in the Code that needs to be addessed.
On the contrary, case OPEN.charlie b said:Case closed.
Sorry, I wasn't clear. Ryan's original question had to do with whether a code article exists that would prohibit putting any number of lights on a residential circuit. I submit that 210.23 does, in fact, prohibit putting an unlimited number of lights on a residential circuit. That is the "case" that I have declared "closed."celtic said:On the contrary, case OPEN. Until a VA is established for resi. outlets, it's wide open.
