Shock, sorry I did not see your post before.
So you have no solution other than to point out that my suggestion was unprofessional.
I am one of the moderators, it is my job to point out poor or illegal recommendations.
So my suggestion now would be, sorry lady, no lights for you. Fluorescent, shower trim, or no lights. NEC says so.
In a nutshell YES.
Would I present it to the customer like that?
Most likely not, but the result would be that they would not be getting the step baffles with incandescent fixtures.
Sure she'll be telling all her friends about how pleased she was with my service and how I couldn't help her.
So what?
Would you bend the rules if they asked you to run 14 AWG for 20 amp circuits?
I didn't particularly like the way you singled me out though.
You where singled out as you where the only person that suggested changing the trims after inspection.
What I'm failing to understand is how you can condemn me for making a suggestion but offer no other idea, or plan, just a "I wouldn't do that" answer.
Because that is the answer, I will not violate the NEC just because a customer does not like the what the NEC requires.
The solutions are very obvious.
Any enclosed incandescents or some fluorescents, it ain't rocket science.
I hope there are no hard feelings and that you understand where I am coming from.
