Am I missing it or thinking wrong.

Thought IBC allowed exit signs to be dimmed ??

Lets use 2015 IBC or one of your choice
 
UBC maybe???
Exit Illumination, NOT Exit Signs
UBC 1997 SECTION 1012 - EXIT ILLUMINATION
1012.1 General. Except within individual dwelling units, guest rooms and sleeping rooms, exits
shall be illuminated at any time the building is occupied with light having intensity of not less than
1 foot-candle at floor level.
EXCEPTION: In auditoriums, theaters, concert or opera halls and similar assembly uses, the illumination
at floor level may be reduced during performances to not less than 0.2 foot-candles.
