I am finishing up a house right now that is billed as a "Reproduction Cape". The ho just got all of the fixtures and yuck. Besides the fact that they are ugly, they were made in some barn somewhere and are not listed, not labled, and not even compatible with any electrical box that they might be installed on.
There are no fixture bars on some. They have only a small ring from which to hang them on a hook or something.
The chandelier type fixtures have no means for grounding whatsoever and I highly doubt that the chain itself would suffice.
I'm trying to get a list of relevant code articles together, so chime in with any you can think of.
I called the guy that made these things and his response was "I have never had a problem in 30 years of doing this". The ho also told me that the guy that made them guaranteed they would comply with code and pass inspection.
I'll try to figure out how to get the pictures out of my Verizon phone and post them here later.
