In the image, there is an illuminated exit sign... was that required?LGreene said:We've had the discussion of "if it looks like an exit does it have to perform like an exit" before, and I think we ended up in a stalemate.

And I'm using the word "exit" in the more generic sense, not as defined by the codes.
