Which of the following articles provides guidelines for Luminaires and Lighting Fixtures?

Article 410 of the National Electrical Code (NEC) specifically addresses the requirements for luminaires (lighting fixtures) and their installation. This article covers various aspects, including the types of luminaires permitted, mounting methods, and the benefits of proper integration into electrical systems.

It outlines standards for the construction and performance of lighting fixtures, ensuring they meet safety and operational performance criteria. The article also discusses the necessary installation procedures to comply with the NEC to promote electrical safety and prevent hazards such as electrical shock or fire when using these fixtures.

While other articles, such as Article 408, discusses switchboards and panelboards, Article 422 pertains to appliances, and Article 440 addresses motor branch circuits, these do not cover luminaires or lighting fixtures specifically. Therefore, Article 410 is unique in its focus on the requirements related to luminaires and their safe installation.
