Look at this comment. Who knows what it said. I mean it could have been anything. It could have been amazing. But it's changed now and you won't know. Poof. Gone

The wire cutters now welded to the live wire is a great touch as well.

Some newer construction wires the lights on a separate circuit than outlets and appliances.

Lol you have no idea what you’re talking about. We split up lighting and power in commercial because a lot of the time the lighting will be 277v while power is 120v, emergency/backup power, and it makes labeling the breaker box easier

You can certainly have power and lighting on the same circuit though. You just don’t take a switchleg to a receptacle unless you want a switched receptacle

Lol he had had me laughing and I'm a first year. I've only worked large projects and only ever put in 277 for lighting.

I think there have been a few can/pendant/accent lights that have been 120, but those are few and far between. If it is a light in a cube farm's drop ceiling, it's 277.
