Have been in this business a long time, but just recently ran into some Electrician's from Detroit who told me they only use stranded MC cable. New one on me. What are it's applications?
It's mostly a preference thing however, 410.56(E) could be an example of a specific use.

We use stranded MC when serving drops to hung fixtures. Some inspectors require it in that application because of the movement.
I take it you didn't read the earlier mentioned 410.56(E)That's a new one. Your inspectors are funny.

Silly inspectors enforcing the Code.
Well just be transparent and make sure your inspector is aware of the requirement, then if he lets you slide let us know.It's beyond stupid. I think I'll use solid whips for the next lights just because

Stranded conductors likely pull easier (even when in a cable assembly) then solid conductors.
You talking all stranded conductors (small sizes) or just MC cable?None of our guys felt that way, stranded MC was disliked by most around here and you would now have to special order it.
