I have no problem with the fixture in that picture. Maybe a violation by the letter of the law but commonsense wise it's fine. I actually like it too. :grin:

Might not be a bad idea if its the same kind of closet/noncloset as in post 3. Smokes for sure.

I picture communist cigars getting to close the the french clothes.:smile:

A couple houses I've wired have ended up in magazine spreads. It amazed me what they edit out of the images. They must Photoshop every image.

I go through and look, and say, "I KNOW there's switches there, and what happened to the light fixture that's THERE?" And there is not a single device shown in any of the kitchen shots.

I've had designers bring in pictures like that. I love the ones that only show one small light fixture in the room and its obvious the recessed lights have been cropped out. Its amazing how statues and pictures in the room are magically lit up w/ invisible spot lights. We did a home awhile back where the designer only wanted two small sconces above a 6' vanity; that was the only lighting in the entire bathroom. I tried to explain that it wasn't sufficient light, but she argued that "i've done this before. . ". Anyway, we hung two tiny sconces each w/ 40w candelabra base torpedos. You had to bring a flashlight to see if the lights were on. She never would admit that it was a terrible design.

I just did a bathroom today that had two wall scones only and the maximum lamps were 25w candelabras, 100 watts total... Best part is she just had the ceiling light I roughed in patched over...:grin:
 
Talked to my inspector today, his response at first was no track and no chandalier. I asked him to read the section on closet lighting and then the section on tub area lighting and how much more restrictive it is on the types of fixtures listed. He called later today and said that track lighting and chain hung fixtures with lamps completly enclosed are acceptable. We talked about the pendant fixture, and he thought this came from the old two wire twisted bare lamp fixture.

Closet?

From what I see, that would be a "dressing room", the clothes are actually placed in their own respective closets. Even the shoe storage area has it's own structure (not under the bed like in my house).

Actually it looks more like a high end boutique in some fancy mall.
