### Permanent or equivalent temporary lighting shall be operating during installation and inspection so that lippage, shade variation, grout-joint alignment, hollow-bonded areas, and surface defects can be evaluated under realistic conditions.
### The finished work shall be evaluated under the lighting in which it will be viewed in service, except that critical-light conditions called out in the contract documents shall be evaluated under raking light where specified.
−### Tile is frequently accepted under raking construction lighting that either exaggerates or conceals lippage, which is why the lighting condition for inspection must be controlled. {note}

## Spare material shall be from the same lots as the installed tile and shall be stored by the Owner in a dry, protected location.
## Attic stock allows the Owner to repair damaged areas with tile from the same shade and caliber lot as the original installation, which is essential because later-purchased replacement tile will be from a different lot and will not match in shade or dimension. {note}
