If one is using MC-HL cable distributing power to light poles in a class 1 div 2 area can the junction of (the splice of the circuit conductors via wire nuts) these cables and the lead attaching the pole top fixture be made inside the light pole like non-classified areas, or should it be contained in an FD type box with approved connectors for the type of cable? I can't seem to find anything in the NEC 500 sections that declares that splices need to be contained.
 
The overall applicable rule is Section 501.5. Of possible interest to the Exception (As modified by this article) is 501.15(E) (3) although in the case of this particular application, it will have little effect.
