What's so horrible about fluorescent lights in the garage?
I installed two 4-light wraparounds in my garage. Of course, though, I installed them in place of the existing incandescent lights at the lighting outlet boxes.
He installed a cord -n- plug to the ligths and pluged the lights into a) the auto opener receptacle outlet b) the other light into those outlet plugs you screw into a light socket.
Allowed or not? I was thinking the lights need to be permanently hard wared , not cord and plug??
Could be okay.
*IF* they are not on extension cords.
*IF* their cords are NOT stapled or otherwise secured in place.
*IF* their cords were not removed and extension cords wired in place of the factory supplied cords (which are typically short).
"Could" be okay. Probably not, though.
