Near as I can tell, electrical tape is limited to 80 degrees C. I first saw a 105 degree limit, then it said 80 degrees elsewhere, I don't remember what package now. The super 88 I have shows the 105 next to a CSA logo, so I guess CSA thinks the same tape UL limits to 80 can go to 105? Seems odd. But in the US it looks to me like it is limited to 80, and that is in the general information, so there is no such thing as 90 or higher tape to use in the US?
The situation where I would need 90 tape is to cover the weenie wire nuts for a luminaire that requires 90 degree conductors. The electrican covered those wire nuts in at least one instance in our house (but I doubt that light needs 90 degree conductors). I think it is more important to use the right tape than to cover the wire nuts. I'm talking about the wire nuts already installed to connect the multiple lampholder's wires together to a pigtail. I throw away the weenie wire nuts that come with it for installation, like I suspect most others do. I'm not sure how they cram 5 or 6 18 AWG stranded wires in the little nut, but the luminaire is listed so the nut shouldn't fall off, right? Do others cover those wire nuts, and if so, in cases that require 90 degree conductors?
