2017 NEC 210.8(A) - All 125 volt, single phase, 15 and 20 ampere receptacles installed in the locations specified in 210.8(A)(1-10) shall have ground-fault circuit interrupter protection for personnel.
(1) Bathrooms.
Article 100, Receptacle - A contact device installed at the outlet... for the direct connection of utilization equipment designed to mate with a corresponding contact device...
So my question is - are light fixtures that use a lightbulb that screws into a light socket considered "receptacles" per Article 100? Does any light that uses regular 60 watt light bulbs in it need to be GFCI if it's in a bathroom?
And has anyone here ever heard of people enforcing GFCI's on bathroom lights? Was that ever intended by the people who wrote the NEC?
