I’m writing this in the matter of emergency lighting. The emergency lighting fixtures came with normal power wiring and emergency wiring in the same lighting whip. I installed these on the third level of an office building. I connected these whips to an emergency box and set a normal putter box next to it with a piece of m.c. in between. I made sure to label the normal power wires in the box connected to normal power wiring in the fixture whip that also has the labeled emergency wires in the whip as well. The emergency wires in the whip are red(connects to neutral) and blue(connects to hot) that run with the normal wires in the whip. My Forman said this is wrong and made us separate the wires and add another m.c. to the fixture which is taking way longer. We argued about it and I said if this is wrong what I have been doing why would the fixtures come made like this. Either way you go your going to have emergency and normal occupying the same space somewhere. I sighted 700.10b3. What would be the best move here. It’s almost the same as wiring am emergency lighting esrn.
