more than two hours when an override is initiated.

C. Acceptance tests of outdoor lighting controls

shall verify the scheduled occupied and unoccupied periods, as specified in Section 130.4(a)6.

D. Automatic scheduling controls shall be installed

for all outdoor lighting, and may be installed in combination with motion sensing controls or other outdoor lighting controls.

Motion sensing controls.
