I am looking at the installation instruction for a Juno IC1P housing for incandescent lamps. It is quite interesting as they are very proud of that housing being IC approved and thus allowed to be surrounded by insulation. The housing is designed for suspended ceilings.
At one side of the house, is a junction box, designed for 1/2", 3/4?, Romex etc. However, that junction box is not accessible through the actual opening in the light fixture. Effectively, post installation you will be unable to access the junction box.
Is installing this lamp fixture in a recessed ceiling using the build in junction box a violation of 413.29? If not, would the lamp manufacturer expect the electrician to establish some kind of entrance through the ceiling to this junction box?
