Landscape lighting @ 120 volt

[LYLE2231]

Good Morning Friends, I'm trying to reference the code article that requires 120 volt landscape lighting to be GFCI protected. These fixtures will be hard wired in, not plugged into a receptacle. Any and all appreciated! Lyle

I don't believe there is such a requirement.

There is one for swimming pool areas 680.22(B)(4), is this what you are looking for?

Landscape light must be gfci protected if it is a residence and the wiring is 12" . Look at table 300.5 Col.4

I agree with that if the wiring is less than 12" but generally 120V landscape lighting do not require GFCI protection.

I agree with Dennis, the only thing that will drive the GFCI protection requirement of 120 volt landscape lighting is the burial depth of the wiring.

No GFCI requirement unless one chooses the shallower burial of 12 inches.
