I have a few questions about Code compliance regarding lighting fixtures, now that LED bulbs are readily available for a reasonable cost.
1) For recessed lighting, would we now be able to use non-IC rated units in insulated ceilings as long as we use an LED retrofit trim (with the trim & LED's in one piece)? If so, that would be very handy since 4" IC-rated units are very difficult to find, if they make them at all.
2) In clothes closets, would we be allowed to use basement lampholders with a bare bulb as long as we use an LED bulb, rather than a CFL or incandescent?
