Which article covers luminaires and lighting outlets?

Article 210

Article 404

Article 410

The main concept here is recognizing which NEC article specifically governs lighting equipment and how it is installed. Article 410 is the one that covers luminaires, lamp holders, and lighting outlets. It lays out the requirements for fixed lighting fixtures, how they are mounted and supported, wiring inside or through the fixtures, and the disconnecting means needed for servicing luminaires. It also addresses listing and compatibility of lighting equipment to ensure safe operation with the electrical supply.

Other articles cover related but different topics: switches are addressed elsewhere, receptacles and cord-and-plug-connected equipment in another section, and general branch-circuit rules for lighting loads appear in a separate article. So, for the rules that specifically apply to luminaires and lighting outlets, Article 410 is the correct focus.

Article 406
