Fire suppression light - InspectionNews

Inspected a small bakery yesterday. Found this new fangled lighting system. I think it is so you can see the fire suppression system control in the dark.

Have a great day.

Its still wired wrong. Junction are not in the box, no J box lid, and the light fixture should not be supported by the wiring.

Rick,

You must have gotten tired writing down what was wrong, you just scratched the surface. Let's just say that "nothing is correct" about that light installation, from the luminaire itself to the installation of it.

Just a fine detail ... not directly relevant to this thread, but worth noting:

NFPA 95 anyone? I've recently had some, ah, enlightening conversations with sundry professionals about these "Ansul" systems ... and NONE had read, much less owned, a copy of the relevant code.
