Default Amount of lighting

Haven't you gone back in, cut larger openings, and installed quad

Yep, I'm going to have quite a few outlets: 4 quad, 2 duplex, and 3 220s.


I haven't done this yet, but most of the fixtures have punchouts in
the ends so you can run conduit between them. You could make just 2
runs of romex (plus a jumper from row 1 to 3, for a 12-fixture/3-row
setup) down a single rafter "hole", then run short THNN lengths
between the fixtures. 100' of romex and 3 100' rolls of THNN would
probably do it.


Took me a few minutes to figure that one out. The two runs are for 2
different (light) switches, right? Dern interesting design.. Saves not
only wire, but conduit, and junction boxes too I think!

On the other hand, the design may make trouble-shooting more difficult
than if there were a pull box at end of each luminaire run/row.
Do you agree?
