Hi, spiduki1123!

Why are you asking the question, please? It would be helpful to know that. Perhaps this might be concerning something that needs to be according to a certain code?

Don't know...

Thanks!

Hi Clough:
Thanks for your response I got the question on a home inspector's test; my answer was - at the top and bottom of the stair, however I have no way to know if I'm correct. Yes, I do believe it is a code relating question, but does not know which.

Thanks for your help

Did you ever find the answer to this question?
If not the answer is in the middle. http://www.inspectapedia.com/interiors/Stair_Codes.htm

Correct answer from Nachi


Illumination:
•Lighting at the stairs is needed. All interior and exterior stairways should have a means to illuminate the stairs, including both the landings and the treads. Correction and further evaluation is recommended.
•Lighting at the landings is needed. Interior stairways should have a light located at each landing, except when a light is installed directly over each stairway section. Correction and further evaluation is recommended.
•There are missing controls for the lights at the stairway. Interior stairways with at least six risers require wall switches at each floor level, unless the lights are continuously illuminated or automatically controlled. Correction and further evaluation is recommended.
