Not relevant in NJ.

Regarding the issue at hand; consider the wording of 1006.1: "The means of egress, including the exit discharge, shall be illiuminated at all times the building space served by the means of egress is occupied." If you can't see to make your way out of the bathroom, your space doesn't comply.
