Luminaire Clearances

[jazer]

Aside from closet spaces, I cannot seem to find any regulations (NEC or otherwise) on required clearances from hanging/pendant luminaires. I have a building full of 4' T5 pendant fixtures, the occupants want to hang banners from the cieling; the question arose about how close can the banners be to the fixtures.....any ideas???

I don't think that those fixtures get hot enough to worry about it,But there is no code requirements in this case.

Too many banners too close will cause light distribution problems, but no electrical safety issues.

At least the banners will be brightly lit up...:lol:
