Circuits for LED pole mounted fixtures

olc · Jan 25, 2014

Quick question:
Can typical pole mounted LED area light fixtures (say for parking) be protected with a 30A circuit breaker? (as opposed to a 20A)

The lighting units would have to meet the heavy-duty lampholder requirement of 210.23(B) in other than dwellings.

I'm guessing thats a bit of humor as LED's are involved.

Not intended to be on my part...

Never quite understood the way its worded. Lighting in dwellings can be connected to any circuit regardless of rating and lampholder type???
