Installing Lighting Fixtures/Switches

A. Install lighting fixtures and switches in accordance with the installation instructions
and requirements. Install lighting fixtures and switches in strict accordance with
approved shop drawings and with equipment manufacturer's recommendations.

B. Verify that lighting fixtures are compatible with wiring methods, loads served,
construction materials, fire ratings, type of occupancy, and installed environment.
Ensure that lamps and switches are rated for the nominal operating voltage of the
branch circuit.

C. Install lighting fixtures and switches in boxes or assemblies that are designed for
the purpose and that are securely fastened in place. Install lighting fixtures and
switches only in boxes that are clean and free from excess building materials,
dirt, and debris.
