Closet Lighting Code: 5 NEC Rules You Need to Know

Closets are one of the few places where the electrical code tells you exactly which light fixtures you can and can’t use.

Getting closet lighting code right matters more than it looks. A closet packs combustible material against the walls and ceiling, so the NEC restricts both the fixture types allowed and how close they can sit to stored contents. Get it wrong and you either fail inspection or create a fire risk. Get it right and a small closet gains real usability.

How to Light Artwork Like a PRO

Knowing how to light artwork properly can make a major difference in how paintings, photographs, and other pieces look in your home or gallery.

Configuring the best lighting for your art is a matter of choosing the right fixtures, lamps, light levels, and angles to showcase the piece while minimizing unnecessary light exposure.
