Explanation
Section 410.116(A)(1) requires a minimum 1/2 inch clearance between a non-Type IC recessed luminaire and combustible material, except at the points where the fixture is supported. Larger clearances such as 3 inches apply to thermal insulation, not to the general combustible-material spacing.
