Chapter 3, Problem 33R
A split-level home has one stairway that has six risers between two levels of the home. Which of the following choices Meets Code? (Circle the correct answer.)
- a. Two three-way switches must be installed (one switch at the top of the stairs, one switch at the bottom of the stairs) to control the lighting for the stairway.
- b. One single-pole switch is permitted on either level to control the lighting for the stairway.
- c. No switches are necessary for the stairway lighting because the lighting on the upper level and the lower level provides enough illumination on the stairway.
