I always seem to find trouble! New residential construction, we installed customer supplied coach lights from Home Depot; they have a GFCI outlet on the side of them, and the cover seems to be modeled after a damp location cover. My guys called me on this one and said hey "this is a wet location" can we use these. I said NO!!! Must be an in-use cover. Well, a few minutes later my guy calls and says "they are UL listed and they state they are approved for wet location" . The owner is in love with these, probably would not sleep nights if they were not installed.... Anyway, failed my inspection today for a violation of 406.8(b) ~ I feel like the inspector is right, but in the back of my mind I have to question; how can a UL rated assembly be listed for a wet location and violate the NEC? Or am I reaching thinking that the UL even cares about the NEC? Any thoughts?
