Plaster frames or mounting clips for recessed fixtures and required mounting <br />accessories for dry gypboard ceilings. <br />d. Recessed lighting fixtures supported from building base structure and/or <br />suspended ceilings in a manner satisfactory to State of California requirements of <br />seismic design criteria, and Title 24, Section E41 OD. <br />L. In areas not having a demountable or accessible ceiling system, provide an accepted junction <br />box allowing light fixture removal for access to circuit wiring, or an exposed box for feeding <br />groups of light fixtures. <br />M. Wiring: <br />1. Lighting fixtures must be correctly wired for proper operation in accordance with design <br />circuit and test free from short circuits and improper grounds. <br />2. Wiring between fluorescent lampholders and associated operating and starting equipment <br />shall not be sized smaller than the leads furnished with approved types of ballasts and <br />have equal or better insulating and heat resisting characteristics. All other wiring within <br />fluorescent lighting fixtures or from the fixture for splicing to the building wiring shall <br />conform to requirements of the latest issue of CEC and shall not be less than No. 16 <br />gauge wire. Wiring shall be protected with tubing at all points where abrasion is liable to <br />occur. Wiring shall be concealed within fixture construction, except where fixture design <br />or mounting dictates otherwise. <br />3. Connection of wires to terminals of lampholdes and other accessories must be made in a <br />neat and workmanlike manner and electrically and mechanically secure with no loose <br />strands protruding. Number of wires extending to or from terminals of a lampholder or <br />other accessory shall not exceed the number which the accessory is designed to <br />accommodate. <br />4. Joints in wiring within lighting fixtures shall be so spliced that they will be mechanically and <br />electrically secure and then soldered and taped to provide insulation equal to that of the <br />conductors being joined. In lieu of solder and tape, approved types of adequately <br />insulated solderless pressure crimped type connectors may be furnished provided sizes <br />used, method of applications and tools employed are in accordance with the particular <br />manufacturer's recommendations. Use of screwed -on type of solderless connector will <br />not be accepted for making connections in wiring within lighting fixtures. <br />5. No splice or tape will be permitted within an arm or stem. Wiring shall be continuous from <br />splice in outlet box on building wiring system to lampholder of an incandescent fixture or <br />to wireway or space provided in a fluorescent lighting fixture for necessary splices <br />between ballast and other accessories and lampholders. <br />6. Multiple section fluorescent lighting fixtures shall be internally wired and connected to <br />accomplish the switching arrangement required by electrical drawings. Wiring shall <br />conform to requirements of latest issue of CEC. <br />3.3 FIELD QUALITY CONTROL: <br />A. Upon completion of installation of lighting fixtures and lighting equipment, they must be in first <br />class operating order, in perfect condition as to finish and free from defects. At time of final <br />inspection, all fixtures and equipment must be completely lamped and b complete with required <br />glassware, reflectors, side panels, louvers or other components necessary to complete fixtures. <br />7 <br />
