you have no idea how many houses had their electrical, plumbing, bath and kitchen remodel hacked up in Los Angeles and it other cities near by? Many, many are done without permits. We have torn apart and corrected many creative construction over the years that were duct tape together.
title 24 requires that if you use a non flor. light in the bath, then you must install a specific motion detecter switch that will turn itself off after a certain time. This means you can't dim your beautiful spot lights. Just think, if you are soaking in a tub, and the lights goes off, you may be in complete darkness. If one should fall and slip and get hurt, who will be sue? What we usually do is that we put up enough flor. fixtures to off set the percent of the total wattage, then after final inspection, we go in and tear then off and "do it right". Good thing is that flor design are getting a bit better, but not much. Flor lights are required in the Kitchen and all exterior lighting now. Tree huggers are making it really hard for designers and ... all of us. If everyone were to follow building code when they change their rusty exterior lights, then Home depot will have to get rid of all of their $19.99 cheap chinese made out side lights. Oh, forgot that motion lights are fine.
