For equipment requiring service, the lighting outlet should be located?

• A. In the garage
• B. In the living room
• C. In the kitchen
• D. At or near the equipment

Answer: (D)

Having proper lighting at the place where equipment is serviced is essential for safe and effective maintenance. The lighting outlet should be located at or near the equipment so you can clearly see terminals, switches, and connections while servicing it, and so you don’t have to move or stretch cords across work areas. This placement provides illumination exactly where you work, reducing the chance of mistakes or accidents. Placing lighting in just a separate room like a garage, living room, or kitchen may not illuminate the service area adequately and can create hazards or inefficiency during maintenance.
