Listed is just what a NRTL has evaluated and passed. Perhaps we need to add language in 410 that recognizes superior technology and gives people a break for using it.
Add
410.8(B)(3)Listed Luminaires incorporating LED technology.
Add
410.08(D)(5) Luminaires using LED technology that have been determined not to present a fire hazard may be placed without regard to storage space.
Then it is up to the LED guys to do that voodoo they do so well.
There is no hardware reason why they can't make an LED that runs no more than a degree or so above ambient in a bullet proof sealed case.
Make it legal and they will come.
