Interior Lighting: submittal requirements

Electrical submittals split between distribution equipment and lighting, and both get checked hard against schedules. Panel schedules, fixture schedules, and controls need to reconcile with the drawings exactly.

What reviewers expect in a interior lighting package

  • Panelboard data with bus rating, AIC rating, and breaker layout matching panel schedules
  • Wire and cable data with insulation type and temperature rating
  • Conduit and raceway data by type and location (EMT, rigid, PVC)
  • Lighting fixture data keyed to fixture types with lumens, wattage, CCT, CRI, and mounting
  • Photometric files or reports when the spec requires them
  • Lighting controls data with sensor coverage and sequence compatibility
  • Generator and transfer switch data with sizing calculations where applicable

Field tip

Fixture substitutions are where Division 26 packages die. If you're proposing an equal, submit the photometrics with it — 'equal' without candela data is a guaranteed revise-and-resubmit.
