SIDEBAR: Breaking Down Article 410

The first five parts of Art. 410 are in a logical sequence. The requirements they provide are mostly mechanical in nature. This sequence is followed by the luminaire wiring requirements in Part VI.

The seventh, ninth, and tenth parts provide requirements for manufacturers. Specify and install only equipment that conforms to these requirements. Part VIII provides requirements for installing lampholders. The rest of Art. 410 addresses specific types of lighting.
