Title 24 has been updated for 2019. Western presents an ongoing series, presenting the updates in an easy-to-understand fashion. This is Part 3.
Night Lights, Step Lights & Path Lights
Page 260, Section 150.0-E: Night lights, step lights and path lights shall not be required to comply with Table 150.0-A or be controlled by vacancy sensors provided they are rated to consume no more than 5 watts of power and emit no more than 150 lumens.
Step lights and path lights are now included in the same category as night lights. Light sources integral to drawers, cabinets and linen closets are also now regulated by Title 24. Luminaires greater than 5 Watts or emit more than 150 lumens now must comply with the high-efficacy requirements of Table 150.0-A, otherwise the light sources are exempt.
