It is interesting how the code is specific for manufactured and mobile homes yet is silent on standard construction homes. Seems we have found the ugly stepchild...

Hi,
if you have a handbook, look at page 461...Exhibit 410.1 it says right there that SURFACE MOUNTED or recessed luminaire is acceptable within the zone.
Doesnt that mean that any SURFACE MOUNTED or recessed luminaire is allowed?

Hi,
Settled on a Halo recessed can and will use shower trim.
Any problems with that?

Use H5T with 5050 trim = 75watt A19 bulb...
Use H5ICAT with 5050 trim = 40watt A19 bulb...
Use H7T with 172PS trim = 100watt A19 bulb...
Use H7ICT with 172PS trim = 60watt A19 bulb...
I still prefer useing a exhaust fan/light combo over a shower. We have to have bathrooms vented to the exterior of the house around here...Nutone 8664RP is my cost effective solution and gives plenty of light with 100watt A19 bulb.However,it must be GFCI protected when installed above a shower stall according to instructions.

Shortcircuit-Hey where did you get that nickname from?...Thanks for the PN's for those cans...That will save me some time!
I suggested the Nutone Fan/Light combo you mentioned and also mentioned that a recessed can with a shower trim would be accpetable..I guess she decided that she wanted the cans..The price of the fan/light combo higher must have been higher than a recessed can.
Thanks for the info.

A couple of things:
1. Remember the code is written to cover some very broad concepts... a bathroom for example. The switch location, or the receptacle location in bathrooms that are very small and have a tub/shower located directly adjacent to the basin leaves very little room in some instances for the device location. The requirements permit the device location as close to the tub/shower enclosure as possible without encroaching the enclosure. If someone is showering and there is a shower curtian- whats the issue?
2. The 2005 now has specific direction as to the shower enclosure being defined as a WET location. This will help in determining the luminaire type required for these enclosures.

For my more particular customers, I have voiced concern over not getting enough light from one can. So I suggested two cans. She went for it.
