Re: can in closet
Just tell the homeowner not to put any clothes in the closet and that solves that problem.

Re: can in closet
Thanks i was pretty sure it was a no but my suprvisor seemed to think it was ok.Solution seems to be shower trim.Also if im reading this right it can be as close as 6 inches to the shelf.Correct me if im wrong please.
Personally i do not understand why they wanted a can.Very poor light for the money.

Re: can in closet
Jim it is 6 in. from shelf edge and must have the requiered 40 watt bulb that an enclosed trim is allowed.I did a home on Davis Island a few years ago and all the closets had cans in the closets on dimmers Another strange thing was that all receps in all 7 bedrooms were 1/2 switched.Didn`t take but about 3 months and we were called to change that stupid idea

Re: can in closet
Allen, I would have suggested compact fluorescents. You can get 100-watt equivalent at arround 26 watts.
As for split wiring (if that's what you meant), I personally like the scheme. You can always change one receptacle by moving the pigtail.

Re: can in closet
Well compact flouresents might have been ok but in addition to cans in all closets specs called for dimmers too.As far as every receptacle in all bedrooms to be 1/2 switched that`s plain dumb
