Can anyone point me to right code on where i stand with outside x mas light receptales.gfci or not ?
That?s a good point. No sense placing the owner at risk, when he tries to reset a tripped GFI. But at what location will the plug of the light strings connect to a receptacle? If that point is outdoors, then the outlet will require GFI, per the article cited by Physis. If that point is indoors, then you don't "need" a GFI.Originally posted by jimwalker: I hate the idea of a gfci receptacle in a hard to reach area.
The GFIs got smart. If you wire it backwards, it trips. You have to fix the bad wiring.what in the heck happened to the price of GFCI outlets?
