What to Expect During a Title 24 Lighting Inspection in California

Preparing for a Title 24 lighting inspection? Knowing what to expect can help you pass the inspection on your first attempt.

The Title 24 Lighting Inspection Process

Here’s a breakdown of the inspection process:
1. Form Review
The inspector verifies CF2R and CF3R documents match the installed equipment and controls.
2. Functional Testing
Lighting controls—occupancy sensors, daylighting, time switches—must perform according to Title 24 criteria.
3. Programming Check
Technicians confirm that control systems are properly configured (e.g., timeout settings, daylight thresholds).
4. Fixture and Control Verification
Installed equipment must be visible, accessible, and listed on the CEC database.
5. Inspection Report
Passed inspections receive a finalized CF3R form; failed ones require rework and retesting.

Tips for a Smooth Inspection
• Coordinate with your electrician and general contractor
• Ensure all systems are fully operational
• Schedule the ATT visit only after controls are programmed and tested
