The premises shall be equipped with overhead lighting fixtures of sufficient intensity to illuminate every place to which patrons are permitted access at an illumination of not less than one footcandle as measured at the floor level. It shall be the duty of the operator and the operator's agents to ensure that the illumination required by this subsection is maintained at all times that a patron is present in the premises.
