Re: Really nice exterior fixture

Is there a problem?

Quote from the 08 NEC.

410.10 Luminaires in Specific Locations.(A) Wet and Damp Locations. Luminaires installed in wet or damp locations shall be installed such that water cannot enter or accumulate in wiring compartments, lampholders, or other electrical parts. All luminaires installed in wet locations shall be marked, “Suitable for Wet Locations.” All luminaires installed in damp locations shall be marked “Suitable for Wet Locations” or “Suitable for Damp Locations.”
 
Re: Really nice exterior fixture

Come on Chris, you're not serious! :eek: Don't you ever watch ' Holmes On Homes '? :D This particular

fixture looks like water could have gotten everywhere behind it. The fixture wasn't sealed to prevent water

from getting behind it and the siding and rotting out the wall surfaces. Not to mention potential mold

problems.

Alias: You must have gotten that out of the recycle bin. I though that when I dumped it, it was headed to china for use in the next toyota.

Whats 'Holmes On Homes'? Aside from the potential problems you mentioned above, I was pointing out the fixture must be listed for a wet location, which it obviously isn't.
