We're doing a project where the client wants recesssed lighting in a walk-in closet. The electrical code requires lighting in closets to be low heat floresecents, (to prevent fires in overstuffed storage areas, presumably). And there are no good florescent-specific recenssed lights.

We proposed to do a CFL bulb in a traditional recessed housing, and the cheif and field electrical inspector can't decide if this is kosher.

YES: The CFL bulb meets the spirt and technical requirements of NEC 410.16
NO: There is no way to know what a furture owner will replace the bulb with, and therefore a dedicated florescent fixture is the only way to meet the code

Does anyone have any expereince with such installations?

Thanks,
Aaron
