Exposed bulb in light fixtures

[michalspike]

Is any regulations for exposed bulbs in light fixtures
Hight or something else?
I'm confused because i thought you can't use light fixtures with expose bulb.

Can you be more specific about installation and location?

Is it a residential closet.

 

[magoo5150]

410.16(B) Incandescent luminarieswith open or partially enclosed lamps and pendant luminaires or lampholders shall NOT be permitted.

Sorry its a no go.

Remember this is for incandescent. If its flourescent, there are some clearance issues depending on where its mounted.

If the op is referring to a closet

Is it a residential closet.

I appologize. I thought this was the OP saying "it is in a closet" not is it in a closet? Sorry about that. Maybe OP will clarify.

Wow

powder bathroom for guest with a toilet and sink.

Nothing prohibits it in a bathroom like this, no shower or tub.

 

[michalspike]

but powder room is not consider as a damp location?

This can get involded. First you must know what a "closet storage space" is and then you must know what type of luminair to determine space required. Just check out Article 410. It lays it out pretty well.
