More info so others can find it?
LISTED for closet "STORAGE space?"
Many are advertised for use in closets, but won't qualify.

In the information linked to it says "Meets the requirements of the 2017 National Electrical Code: Articles 410.16A(1)(3), C(1)(3), (5), 410.52, and 410.74 (A)(B)."
410.16(A)(1)(3) is the section that says "suitable for installation within the closet storage space".
Many other luminaires are suitable for use in a closet, but not necessarily within "the closet storage space" as defined in 410.2.

We are not splitting these hairs; the NEC is. That fixture is a listed luminaire. It is advertised as suitable for closets.
It is NOT listed for the closet storage space.

If it is not listed for use in the "closet storage space" then it must be 6 or even 12 inches depending on luminaire type (typically 12" for incandescent luminaires) from the "storage space"
"Closet fixture" is marketing terminology more so than code or listing terminology. Many luminaires are NEC compliant in a closet but aren't marked "closet fixture".

One t hing that surprised me was NEC requires 12" for surface mounted LED but only 6" for fluorescent fixture. Dont LED's generate less heat compared to a traditional fluorescent fixture?

Thanks!
I was looking at the installation. So you run 120v to the power supply unit and then it runs 24v dc to the light fixture. Is the power supply unit built in with in the fixture or does it go in the drywall and then you attach the end caps?

Got me. LED's produce heat, but should be less overall heat than an equivalent light output of another type.

Under the specs page 4-- you need a remote transformer then class 2 wiring to the unit

I guess the best would be to install power supply in the closet ceiling and then wire it to the end caps to supply the power to the rod.
