When specifying the wattage for recessed lighting, which section is referenced?

The correct reference for specifying the wattage for recessed lighting is found in Section 410.116 of the National Electrical Code (NEC). This section addresses the specific requirements for luminaires, including information about wattage limitations and considerations that ensure safety and compliance with electrical standards.

Understanding the details within this section is crucial for determining the appropriate wattage ratings for recessed fixtures, which is essential for preventing overheating and ensuring that the electrical system operates within safe limits. This helps to avoid potential hazards related to excessive heat and energy consumption, thus promoting both safety and efficiency in lighting installations.
