The type of mounting used for lighting fixtures is indicated in the

• A. Lighting fixture specifications
• B. Electrical code
• C. Installation guidance
• D. Manufacturer warranty

Answer: (A)

The mounting method for a lighting fixture is defined by the fixture’s own specifications. The manufacturer designs each fixture to be installed in a specific way (flush, surface, pendant, recessed, etc.), and this mounting information is documented in the fixture specifications so installers know exactly what hardware, supports, and electrical box requirements are needed. The electrical code sets safety and installation rules in general, but it doesn’t specify how a particular fixture must be mounted. Installation guidance may walk you through the mounting steps, but it’s based on what the specifications say. The manufacturer warranty deals with defects and coverage, not how the fixture is mounted.
