Ok, I got one for you Golden State guys. Do you have a code requirement to have a grounding lug in non-metallic boxes for luminaires?

When I visited my friends home while it was being built, they used 3" round plastic nail on boxes that had a small grounding lug in them. All of the homes in the area had them. It sure looked weird to my "back east" viewpoint. They used them everywhere: all the outside lights, the inside lights, the attic lights and the garage lights.

Oh, and I'd never seen cord and plug connected furnaces before. Yeah, we've allready had that debate. [Linked Image]
