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 many 110 watt fluorescent light fixtures can be on a 20 amp in a commercial office building?
To determine how many 110-watt fluorescent light fixtures can be on a 20 amp circuit, first calculate the total wattage available. A 20 amp circuit at 120 volts provides 2,400 watts (20 amps x 120 volts). Dividing 2,400 watts by 110 watts per fixture results in approximately 21.8 fixtures. However, for safety and to adhere to the National Electrical Code (NEC), it's recommended to use only 80% of the circuit's capacity, allowing for about 17 fixtures on that circuit.
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.
Is it within code to hard wire a fluorescant light fixture into a 20 amp branch circuit that is now designated for general use utility receptacles?
It is not good practice in new wiring, but done all the time as part of a retrofit. Use 12 AWG wiring and make sure the circuit is not overloaded.

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.

How do you remove the light bulb from the underwater light?
You need to remove the screw that holds the light ring and pull the whole light fixture out of the water and up onto the deck. There should be enough wire wrapped around the back of the light to allow this. Remove the lens, replace the bulb, and reinstall the lens with a new gasket, being careful not to get any water inside the fixture. Wrap the excess wire around the back of the light fixture and replace it in the niche, securing it with the screw. A. I would add: You need to test the GFCI, the wiring of the whole fixture - continuity test. If this is a fairly old fixture - my decision would be to replace the entire assmebly with a new one. If you have no GFCI then would be critical that you add one. And lastly but not least, you should have a pool tech service the light. He will know what to look for and how to correct any situation with your light. If there is something wrong with your light assy. and you do not find it by testing you put yourself and anyone who uses the pool in a great deal of danger if the light should malfunction. The codes specify that anytime you work on a pool light you then need to bring that product to current code. That also includes the main drain grate. Yes if you or a pool tech works on any portion of the pool for repairs the code demands that the main drain be brought to current code requirements. So it is not only a matter of just changing the light bulb and gasket.
