Is a open porch or under eave location wet or damp?

Damp.

If under roof and protected from the weather, it's a damp location.

I agree too, damp. Definition in Article 100.

Thanks that was quick. I thought so.

Now I have to bitch at the inspector he failed me because the fixture was only rated damp not wet.

New guy.

Oh well.

Don't bitch at the "new guy," embrace him into his new job and develop a good working relationship. I know, sometimes the individual makes that impossible, but try.

Remember - when starting a new part of one's life, we get nervous and make mistakes. Also no one knows it all. When I was an inspector, I learned more from the guys in the field than just about anywhere. I leaned on them to teach me what they knew, in return I would do likewise. Amazing how small acts of kindness can reach so far......

Was not planning on bitching at him. Just using that as a figure of speech. I just think it may turn into a bitch fest over a stupid light I did not supply.

Pierre, good to see you back.

While on the topic of damp and wet locations, where can I find reference to underground conduits, whether indoor or out, being classified as wet or damp location? Scratching my head on finding that verbage in the code.

See Article 100 definition of "Location, Wet"
