Given: A showroom with up to about 150 lighting heads; would a aluminmn socket luberication aid in the constant removal and changing lamps? Would the socket benifet from having a gerous coating? Are there any conductive concerns?

Your total service should be structured to the overall sum of P=IE.

All components should be used at their rated service, I don't know of AL additive .... why would that be applied otherwise ? The code says make a mechanical connection not a chemical application. . .

The only time I'll use a little no-lox on a bulb is the long skinny halogens when they are outside. They seem to curode easily and this helps. But to much will make it worst. Just barely put a little bit on their. I would not use it in side.
I have seen some bus bars in a panel with that stuff caked on their. It just makes the connection worst.
