Code Standards and Practices Level 1 Practice Test

The needed concept is that service equipment should be accompanied by a lighting outlet that is placed at or near the equipment. This keeps illumination close to where work is done, making servicing safer and easier. Having the outlet near the equipment avoids long extension cords, reduces tripping hazards, and keeps the power source readily accessible for technicians. Placing it in a distant or unrelated area (like a living room or attic) would create unnecessary distance, clutter, and accessibility problems, so the near-the-equipment placement is the practical and safe choice.
