Option 2 if I understand your explanation correctly. If there is sufficient daylight within 15 feet of a window, the lights must be able to dim, regardless of where you put the controls.

My understand was always that the controls needed to be within 15 feet of the windows - the form requires that you enter the distance from the windows to the control device in all "regularly occupied daylit areas." Regularly occupied areas which are more than 15 feet from the windows do not require daylight controls.

Then I defer to you. That's probably where they need to be in order to measure daylight at 15' from the window.
