The EQ credit Interior Lighting – Option 1 - Lighting Control states that “switches or manual controls must be located in the same space as the controlled luminaires. A person operating the controls must have a direct line of sight to the controlled luminaires”

Our lighting design team is proposing an automated system that does not have wall light switches, the lighting fixtures are controlled via a remote control device (just like a TV remote control). Since it is a portable device, does it qualify as an acceptable manual control that is located in the same space as the controlled luminaires?
