In what locations is lighting track not permitted to be installed?

Lighting track systems are not permitted to be installed in damp or wet locations due to safety and compliance with electrical codes. These locations pose a risk of moisture exposure, which can lead to corrosion of electrical components and increase the potential for electrical shock or short circuits.

In contrast, dry locations are suitable for lighting track installations because they do not expose the electrical components to moisture, significantly reducing safety hazards. Similarly, outdoor areas may also fall into the category of damp or wet unless specifically rated for such conditions, making them unsuitable without the appropriate weatherproofing. Finished spaces can vary in their moisture content but generally refer to interiors that are completely enclosed and conditioned; however, they are still not defined by moisture levels as classified under 'damp' or 'wet'.

Thus, the prohibition on installing lighting track in damp or wet locations is crucial for maintaining safety standards and proper operation of the lighting system.
