Question:
Code restrictions for closest lighting. My question is I have two short and narrow closets in a residential house, single family residents. That I have roughed in for one LED globed light fixture in each closest. Since both fixtures are L E D light fixtures with globes are there any code restrictions on this application.

Answer:
Hey Marshall thanks for your question. A completely enclosed surface mounted LED luminaire must be located at least 12 inches from the closet storage space as stated in 410.16(C)(1) unless identified to be within the closet storage space as stated in 410.16(C)(5). The term Closet Storage Space is defined in 410.2. If the closets are small as you describe there might not be enough space for the LED luminaires.
