Recessed MR16 in a closet space

[cbishop7]

Tried searching the forum, but no luck.

Can you install a recessed MR16 in a closet space? I imagine is should be covered/lensed.

NEC section 410.16 doesn't address low voltage fixtures one way or another as allowed or not allowed.

Thoughts??

Here's the code wording. The lamp needs to be completely enclosed, whatever that means.

410.16 Luminaires in Clothes Closets.

(1) A surface-mounted or recessed incandescent luminaire with a completely enclosed lamp
