It is my understanding that there is a NEC regulation for automobile lifts that states that any lighting system must power off within 18" of the ground. Where do I find this NEC regulation to review and what is the NEC reg number?

See Article 511 of the 2008 NEC.

NFPA 70: National Electrical CodeŽ (http://www.nfpa.org/aboutthecodes/AboutTheCodes.asp?DocNum=70&cookie_test=1)

Sure, make him do his own research TK. Here is a little help.

I think you will find it is not about the lift or lights at all but is about the classification of the area they are located in.

Sure why not?

I gave the information that was requested.

This,apparently, is a commercial garage, and there are several issues with wiring this type of occupancy, the poster may as well learn everything there is to know about commercial garages.
