Light fixtures in closets

[Ben Trueblood]

In Art. 410.8 it clearly states the perameters for installing fixtures in clothes closets. Does the same codes apply to mechanical closets or other closets used for storage?

Thanks for the clarification.

Those are 2 totally different kinds of closets. The difference is "clothes closets" the code is trying to provent combustion of clothes in a closet if a lamp were to break. You are required to have a fixture that will cover the lamp in a clothes closet, In an electrical or comm closet- the rules are different.

Well if ya wanna git picky there cowboy there is always 410.12 Altough no bearing on this thread. The definition of a closet is also found in the IRC: A small room or chamber used for storage.....go figure.
