Outdoor receptacles are required to be GFCI protected.
For an outdoor light mounted on the side of the house, wet location, and the switch being indoors, would the circuit need to be GFCI protected?
Would the answer to the above be the same for a circuit running to a lamp post?
... I was looking all over the NEC for the answer and all I found was GFI requirement for outdoor receptacles. Which I knew about. I could not find anything on outside lighting fixtures.
I'm correct on the 300.5 part, but incorrect on the 18" part. Direct burial cables under a residential lawn would be 24" (non-GFCI protected)
