Safety Note
Helpful hint
The blue light switches at Lenox in the alley entrance hall do not turn lights on and off directly. For turning off lights, the switches send a signal to a controller to sound an alert and turn off lights after about 5 minutes. This is to ensure no one operating machinery has the lights go out on them unexpectedly. To turn off lights immediately use the little red boxes in the various areas.
