How many lighting outlets must be installed in attics, underfloor spaces, utility rooms, and basements used for storage?

In attics, underfloor spaces, utility rooms, and basements designated for storage, the code typically requires at least one lighting outlet. This is to ensure adequate illumination for safety and operational efficiency in these areas, where visibility can be limited due to low ceilings or clutter.

Having a dedicated lighting outlet allows users to safely navigate these spaces, particularly when they are storing or retrieving items. The single outlet requirement is sufficient to provide necessary light, as adding more outlets may not be necessary depending on the design and size of the space. Ensuring that there is at least one outlet helps mitigate hazards, such as trips and falls, by promoting better visibility in these often overlooked areas.
