Question: Have a commercial bathroom where one light is powered 24/7 (per lighting designer) and the remaining lights are controlled by a ceiling mounted occupancy sensor.Is a switch required? I know it's required in residential bathrooms as per 210.70(A)(1). Can't seem to find anything for commercial bathrooms. Thanks for you help.
Yes, a switch is required for commercial bathrooms.According to the National Electrical Code (NEC), Article 210.70(A)(1), every bathroom shall have at least one light fixture controlled by a wall switch located at the bathroom entrance. This requirement applies to both residential and commercial bathrooms. Flag for review
