This document provides guidelines for properly placing electrical fixtures such as outlets, lights, switches, and other miscellaneous fixtures in a home. It specifies that each room must have at least one light controlled by a switch, outlines placement requirements for outlets in different rooms, and notes that exterior lighting and lighting over stairs and in halls is important. The document also states that an electrical fixture plan should show approximate placements of fixtures without including circuit design or loads, and that standard electrical symbols drawn in approximate locations should be used.
