received lighting fixtures from owner requiring "150 degree wiring" One type terminates in round hub at arm swivel and since it's not adjacent to ballast; I figure we can use 90 degree cord (no conduit entry). The other fixture will require wiring in ballast compartment and I am not aware of any cord that is rated 150 degree and is also sunlight resistant. Where do I find temp ratings and amperage ratings for flexible cords?

Re: lighting fixtures 150 degree cord
You need some TGGT for that. It has the fiberglass braid over what looks like THHN. It's 200 degree C rated (I think). It's a stock item in 12 and 14 gauge at my supply house.

Re: lighting fixtures 150 degree cord
Oh, you did say cord, didn't you? No, TGGT is a conductor, just like THHN is a conductor. There are a few cord manufacturers that make teflon and silicone jacketed cords with TGGT conductors inside. Don't have a clue how much that stuff would be. Expensive, I should think. Why do you need to cord and plug these? Would a run of flex be out of the question?
