I say that, if the box isn't supporting the fixture, its fixture rating is not relevant. The exception need not apply because the rule doesn't.
That is my thought, but then more recently they messed with that concept when it comes to paddle fan rated boxes being required in some situations even if a paddle fan isn't going to be installed. Nothing wrong with supporting those separate from the box either - or at least never was before:slaphead:
Supporting from box may be more convenient but not an absolute must do it that way.
