On the 2017 code, are keyless porcelain lights still allowed on a detached garage ceiling? Thank you for your responses.

There is only one reference to "keyless" in 2017 NEC and it's in article 530.41 for motion picture studios. Article 410 covers luminaires. I don't see any reason a keyless fixture should be disallowed in a garage. They are not allowed in clothes closets per 410.16

Done all the time. I've had customers that had spent their budget and couldn't buy their lights till later. I put up keyless just for inspection.

One of the only places I can think of it wouldn’t be allowed would be a clothes closet
