Ok so the area in question is a pergola/lean to structure with a spa under it. Roughly half of the area is dedicated to the spa the other half of the covered area is a deck with plans to have a picnic table and chairs. In the area with the deck we have two receptacles and two switches, one for the fan and the other for the light. All of these are more than 5' measured horizontally from the inside wall of the spa and gfi protected. The fan/light is gfi protected, measured horizontally is 8' or more from the inside wall of the spa and the box which the fan/light is mounted from is more than 7'6" above the deck. The light on the bottom of the fan is roughly 6' above the floor, I agree this is low but the owner plans to put a table under it and was more than happy with the install so we went with it. The inspector failed me today due to the fan blades not being 7'6" above the floor and the light kit being under 6'8". The only thing I have found in 680 states that the fan may not be mounted from a height less than 7'6", and I have not found anything about the 6'8" measurement. Can anyone verify these measurements or point me in the right direction? I appreciate it.
