Question: A residential bedroom is being renovated, and the existing single-pole switch controlling the main ceiling light needs to be replaced. According to CEC Rule 30-308(1), which specific type of switch is required for residential bedroom lighting circuits when installed within 1 metre (3 feet 3 inches) of a sink or bathtub?
Answer options:
- A standard toggle switch with an insulated handle.
- A switch with a minimum 20 A rating.
- A ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) protected switch. ✅ No specific type of switch is mandated for bedroom lighting unless it's in a bathroom (Zone 2).
Correct answer: No specific type of switch is mandated for bedroom lighting unless it's in a bathroom (Zone 2).
Explanation: CEC Rule 30-308(1) outlines requirements for switches in bathrooms and similar zones. A bedroom lighting circuit does not typically fall under these rules, unless there's an unusual setup like a sink in the bedroom within the specified distances, which is not the general case. Therefore, no specific type of switch is mandated for a general bedroom lighting circuit.
