Hello everyone, I am working on a landscape lighting project, and hit a crossroad.
The NEC is clear to indicate the maximum fixture wattage is to be used; however the customer is going with all LED lighting.
The maximum wattage is 35W and the LED is 5 watts; imagine the difference in the amount of branch circuits, and transformers needed for the LED install.
I would like to use the LED ratings and capitalize on the energy savings of the LED; that's why they are being used in the first place, right.
Is there an exception I'm missing, or a LED label I can put on the fixture to allow the LED wattage to be used.
Thanks
Kevin
