We installed Seagull Lighting LV cable 9373-12 through out a large (12,000 sq') custom home in
the Winter Park area of Colorado. The State Electrical Inspector claims we are in violation of Article 400-7 & 8 of the 1999 NEC because we ran the cable from the load side of the transformer to the lights through walls and ceilings (not exceeding recommended distances for voltage drop). We've asked Seagull Lighting if this cable is UL listed for our installation but have yet to get a response. We believe that the intent of this article pertains to line voltage and not low voltage. What is everyone else's opinions? We are requesting a reply as soon as possible as this is keeping us from a final electrical inspection.
