A luminaire installed in a wet location must be marked with what designation?
a.Damp locations only
b.Weather resistant
c.Suitable for Wet Locations
d.Outdoor use
Explanation
Section 410.10(A) requires luminaires installed in wet locations to be marked 'Suitable for Wet Locations' and installed so water cannot enter or accumulate in wiring compartments or lampholders. A 'damp locations' marking is not sufficient for a wet location such as one exposed to rain or hose-down.
