Planning A Kitchen Remodel for 2024? Get Familiar with the Latest Electrical Code Requirements

The U.S. National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) is the group that creates and updates the National Electrical Code® (NEC®), which is then adopted in whole or partly by your municipality. The NFPA updates the code every three years to meet the increasing requirements of the modern kitchen. If you remodel your older existing kitchen, most jurisdictions require you to bring your new kitchen up to the current code requirements. Learning basic kitchen electrical code can also create a safer, better functioning space. What can be noted as a major change in the 2023 NEC® is that receptacle outlets for islands and peninsulas are no longer able to be installed below the countertop and work surface level.

The Evolution of Downlights Continues with New Fire Rated LED Products

PROLIGHTING now has two new products available for contractors looking to stock up on fire rated LED downlights. But first, why fire rated? While typical IC-rated fixtures are designed and tested for direct contact with insulation, they are actually poor flame barriers. Most IC fixtures are made either from light sheet metal or aluminum that breaks down rapidly when in direct contact with fire. Every time you cut a hole in the ceiling to install a recessed light, you create a free passage for fire and smoke. While IC-rated lights are constructed to avoid starting fires, fire rated downlights serve as a fire barrier in the event a fire has already started.
