    Stan, it bites that the Quick questions seldom have quick answers?
    310.16 concerning ampacities is more interesting?

    Which edition of the National Electric Code?

    Stan quoted the current code in effect, 2008 edition.

    The Section 410.16 in the 2005 edition was Means of Support.

    This section is often mentioned in installation instructions of light fixtures that the installation of the fixture must comply with NEC Section 410.16.

    The instructions may not have been updated.

    Good point TK, I never thought of that.

    You'd think they would leave a few more numbers in between rather than leaving the section number the same and changing the topic.

    Gotto love the NEC... NOT!
