[Shop-talk] flood light extension (Steven Trovato)

[Steven Trovato]

Brian,

This is just a light on my home/shop.  While I 
try to do things the right way, no one will be 
inspecting this.  Does code even apply to 
this?  This is essentially a light fixture, not 
part of structure wiring.  I have seen homemade 
light fixtures like creative artistic 
chandeliers.  I have also seen outdoor lights 
made of things like old lanterns or the globes 
from old gas pumps.  I'm not trying to challenge 
you here, I really don't know where the line is drawn.
