Question:
Hello,
Does the definition of luminaire in article 700 apply to track lighting? If it does, can dual circuit track (with dedicated neutrals per circuit) have one circuit connected to normal power and the other connected to emergency (NEC 700) power?
Thanks.

Answer:
Hey Pathros thanks for your question. The term luminaire is defined in Article 100 and it includes track lighting. The UL guide information supports this:

But using track lighting for both normal and emergency lighting would not comply with 700.10(B).
