I just remanufactured a light fixture that has hung on my front porch since 1930. No listing, no labling, just good old yankee ingenuity. Probably hang there for another 77 years. :smile:

I can't believe you put your family at risk with this non-UL fixture. :wink:

This must be stopped, I will be sending the UL police your way. :D

Is this to be considered your "Magnum Opus" or just another item on the "honey-do" list ? :D :D :D

Edit: By the way, here in the South we have what is known as you all approval.
If you all approve that good enough for us.

I just hope you wired it with UL listed wire nuts, attached to a listed cross bar, on a listed outlet box, and you fastened the ground wire with a listed grounding clip, and you used listed wire.

Is this like one of those shoemaker's kids that don't have shoes things?

That has a kind of "Folk Art" thing going for it. They should have it appraised on Antiques Road Show. Could be worth a fortune.

If you were to fasten the door to the porch, than close off the stairs to the porch from outside and enclose the porch with plywood, I think than it would be okay. ;)
