Re: Fiber Optic light in Class 1 Div 1
This is a great opportunity for me to learn something. My basic design background is E&C rather than A&E and my decorative lighting knowledge is just about zero.
I confess I was totally unfamiliar with the term ?glass pipe.? I?ve seen them, of course, but I didn?t know a specific term for them. What I read at 3M?s website indicated they are ?lined.? Does that mean they have a tubular construction? I couldn?t quite tell from the illustration. What gbaytath described was ?solid core.?
An open core would have a tremendous impact in a Classified location, especially Division 1. (See 501.5 FPN No. 2)
If they fall under 410-411 they would still have to meet the requirements 501.9.
