Do I have to use fluorescent lights in my kitchen and bath?

The requirement is that your lighting provide at least 40 lumens/watt which essentially means fluorescent.
Kitchens need to have 50% of the watts of lighting be high efficacy.
Bathrooms, laundry rooms, utility rooms and garages must have all fluorescent lighting or have the lighting controlled by a manual on occupancy sensor. Other rooms and outdoor lighting also have requirements. Call us to discuss them.
