c) Outside-Type (fresh water only) — The corrosion protection means shall comply with the requirements of Clause 10.4.2 in the Standard for Luminaires, UL 1598, A luminaire that complies with all of the Outside-Type requirements for this supplement and has been evaluated only for fresh water shall be marked in accordance with Table 18.1, Item 1.3.
TEMPERATURE TEST
14 Normal Temperature Test
14.1 A surface mounted luminaire shall comply with the temperature test requirements for surface-mounted luminaires specified in Clause 11, Normal temperature tests in the Standard tar Luminaires. UL 1598, with the exception that the test ceiling foi ceiling mounted luminairos is not required to be filled with insulation.
14.1 revtsed Augusl 22, 2002
14.2 A recessed mounted luminaire shall comply with the Type Non-IC normal temperature test requirements for recessed luminaires specified in Clause 11. Normal temperature tests in the Standard for Luminaires, UL 1598. Aboormal temperature tests are not required.
14.2 revised AuQusi 22, 2002
14.3 Marked suppty wire ratings shall not exceed 110°C (230°F).
ENVIRONMENTAL TESTS
15 Drlppage Test
15.1 An Inside Diipproof-Type luminaire shall be subjected to the test descrted in 15.3. No water shall contact wiring devices or lamps after exposure to the drippage for 1 hour.
152 An alternative to the Drippage Test is the Rain Test described in Clause 13.52 in the Standard for Luminaires, UL 1598.
15.2 revised AUQUSI 22, 2002
15.3 To determine whether a luminaire complies with the requirement in 15.1, it is to be tested as follows. A glass globe or a plastic panel not provided with a gasket is to be removed for the test. With the top of wire entrances seated, the luminaire is to be mounted directly beneath a shower head, as described in 15.4. vertIcally oriented. The waler pressure is to be such that the area of water drfppage covers the entire cross section of the luminaire or, in the case of a fluorescent lamp luminaire, the entire width of the luminaire. When the luminaire is provided with means for adjustment of position, it is to be adjusted as far from the vertical position as allowed by the construction. With the adjustment complete, the luminaire, inclucng the portion that is normally vertical, is to be tilted to make the normally vertical part 15 degrees from the vertical. The direction of tilt and adjustment is to provide the maximum exposure of lamps and wiring devices. The test is also to be conducted with the luminaire in any more-upright position when required.
