I do not know of a specific code in the United States. However, a flourescent fixture should be covered if breaking a bulb would create serious problems, such as in a kitchen, a place where children play, etc. In lieu of covering the whole fixture they manufacture tubes that cover the bulbs themselves for the same purpose.

What does it mean when a porch light fixture is turned upside down?
Well, honey, turning a porch light fixture upside down doesn't have some deep hidden meaning. It simply means someone installed it wrong or they were feeling rebellious that day. Either way, it's just a light fixture - not a secret code for aliens or a new fashion trend.
How do you cap off the outlet if you are replacing a bathroom light fixture but the old one had an electrical outlet?
Answer for USA, Canada and countries running a 60 Hz supply service.By asking this question you are probably not quite ready to take on this particular task. The correct answer to your question will depend on the exact location of the light fixture.If your bathroom light fixture has an outlet in it you will need to make sure that the entire bathroom's electrical circuits are protected by a GFCI circuit breaker. Many homes built before the 1980s have bathrooms which are not protected by a GFCI because the wiring code applicable back then did not require it.If the old light has a built-in outlet you will not need to cap the outlet because it will be removed along with the lighting fixture.As always, if you are in doubt about what to do, the best advice anyone should give you is to call a licensed electrician to advise what work is needed.Before you do any work yourself,on electrical circuits, equipment or appliances,always use a test meter to ensure the circuit is, in fact, de-energized.IF YOU ARE NOT ALREADY SURE YOU CAN DO THIS JOBSAFELY AND COMPETENTLYREFER THIS WORK TO QUALIFIED PROFESSIONALS.

What is the nmfc code for a wall glass light fixture?
The NMFC code for a wall glass light fixture would depend on various factors such as the size, weight, and materials used in the fixture. It is recommended to contact the National Motor Freight Traffic Association (NMFTA) or use their online tools to determine the specific NMFC code for the item in question.
Can you wire a light fixture to the wall without an electrical box.?
No. Most light fixtures are designed to be mounted on electrical boxes which are fixed to the building frame work. Mounting the fixture without a box leaves the connection open on one side to a combustible surface. If a problem arises with the connection and heat is generated a fire could start. A surface mounted fluorescent is allowed to be mounted without a box. This is because the connection to the ballast is made inside the metal enclosure of the fixture.

Can you use 75 watt fluorescent tubes in 60 watt fixtures which is a different question because fluorescent lights do not operate as hot as incandescant bulbs?
You talk about tubes specifically so I assume the 60 watt fixture is also designed for tubes. In such a case you should not use a higher wattage tube. If you were to replace a 60 watt incandescent bulb with a compact florescent of 75 watts you are correct that the heat would be less. If heat were the only de-rating factor you would probably be okay. Not sure how this is handled in the code.
