Pool Equipment Room - Light Fixture

[CutToTheChase]

NEC 2017 question.

NEC 680.14(B) states:
"Wiring methods in the areas described in 680.14(A) [chemical storage] shall be listed and identified for use in such areas. Rigid metal conduit, intermediate metal conduit, rigid polyvinyl chloride conduit, and reinforced thermosetting resin conduit shall be considered to be resistant to the corrosive environment specified in 680.14(A)."

This code section doesn't seem to cover light fixtures (or panels, for that matter), and I cannot seem to find a code section that requires either fixtures or gear to be rated for a corrosive environment.

Is my assumption that vaportight fixtures are required to be used in a pool equipment room incorrect?

Bump.

Anyone?

Products or equipment used, must be listed for the environment, NEC 110.11. Vapor tight are usually used in wet or corrosive environment, but not all are created equal, review of product specification as to use in a corrosive environment.
