Correct answer to question 10016
- A: 12 ft
Explanation
In outdoor pool areas, luminaires, lighting outlets, and ceiling-suspended paddle fans over the pool or within 5 ft horizontally of the inside walls must be at least 12 ft above the maximum water level. The height protects swimmers from contact with the equipment and from parts that could fall into the water.
