Is a LED fixture(Luminaire) considered a lampholder or to have lampholders within? I know you can have a lighting circuit up to 50A but only over 20A if it has a heavy duty lampholder (210.21 & 23).
So can we have 22A of load on a 30A breaker for a new LED Fixtures?
I have looked through several code sections and tried to find an answer on-line but I haven't found anything that difinitively states a Luminaire is or has to have a lampholder. The Luminaire definition says a lampholder itself is not a luminaire but it doesn't go the otherway and say luminaire is always a lampholder. 210.21&23 only refer to lampholders not luminaires.
What are your thoughts and do you think >20A lighting circuits for LED fixtures is a code violation?
Thanks
