What is the minimum amount of lighting outlets required for an attic space with a single entry that will be used for storage?

• A. Two lighting outlets
• B. One lighting outlet with a control at the entry that permits access to the attic
• C. Three lighting outlets
• D. Four lighting outlets

Answer: (B)

The main idea here is that attic storage spaces with a single access point must have lighting that you can operate from the entry. With only one entry, a single lighting outlet is enough, as long as the switch is located at that entry so you can turn the light on before stepping into the attic. This ensures safe, immediate illumination when you arrive, which is the minimum requirement for such spaces. Additional outlets would be extra beyond the minimum and not required for compliance in a simple storage attic.
