Where should the lighting outlet be installed for equipment that requires servicing?

• A. In the yard
• B. In the laundry room
• C. In the garage
• D. At or near the equipment

Answer: (D)

Lighting for servicing electrical equipment should be placed at or near the equipment itself. This ensures direct visibility of the area where you’re working, making it easier to see switches, panels, wiring, and fasteners, which improves safety and accuracy during maintenance. It also avoids the hazards and inconvenience of running extension cords from distant outlets. Choosing a location in the yard, laundry room, or garage does not provide light exactly where servicing occurs, so it’s less practical and safe for work at the equipment.
