## Notes

Always power to switch first.
Every switch & plug must have a neutral wire in the box.
OK to use conduit as ground.
Lights and plugs on separate circuits
Every power line from a breaker must have a matching neutral line.
Exit signs must be fed by the lighting circuits, ahead of any switching.

30 joists, 32" on center.  

Power draw of lights is between 50W and 65W each.

There are 54 big light fixtures and 8 small light fixtures.  There are currently 46 big light fixtures currently.  Kitchen will require at least 6 circuits all 20A with 12/2 NM and GFCI/AFCI:

- Fridge
- Dishwasher
- Garbage Disposal
- Microwave Oven
- Small Appliance #1
- Small Appliance #2

A cook top requires:

- 220V/50A 6/3 NM cable

Separate circuit for the alarm and camera system.

16 exit sign lights.
