How to understand category "Light-emitting-diode Surface-mounted Luminaires" in UL‘s Online Certifications Directory (OCD)?
GENERAL
This category covers surface-mounted luminaires, including floor-, wall-, ceiling-, undercabinet- and pole-mounted luminaires.
Ceiling-mounted luminaires include cord-, stem-, chain- and cable-suspended luminaires, in addition to outlet-box-mounted luminaires.
SPECIAL-USE LUMINAIRES
Luminaires suitable for continuous operation in an elevated ambient, such as a boiler room, foundry, etc., are marked "SUITABLE FOR OPERATION IN AMBIENT NOT EXCEEDING __ C," where the blank is filled in with the intended elevated ambient.
LUMINAIRE INSTALLATION MARKINGS
If the required rating of the field wiring supplying the luminaire requires the installer to push the supply conductors from the luminaire into the outlet box, the luminaire is marked "PUSH CONDUCTORS INTO JUNCTION BOX."
All ceiling- and wall-mounted luminaires are acceptable for mounting on an insulated ceiling or wall. Exceptions: (1) luminaires obviously not designed for ceiling use or if marked "WALL MOUNT ONLY" are not acceptable for mounting on ceilings, and (2) luminaires marked "NONCOMBUSTIBLE SURFACE ONLY."
Luminaires intended for undercabinet mounting are marked "SUITABLE FOR UNDER-CABINET MOUNT."
Luminaires intended for continuous-row mounting are marked "SUITABLE FOR CONTINUOUS ROW MOUNTING."
Wall-mounted luminaires weighing more than 11.3 kg (25 lbs) and ceiling-mounted luminaires weighing more than 22.7 kg (50 lbs) intended for outlet box connection are marked "THIS LUMINAIRE MUST BE MOUNTED OR SUPPORTED INDEPENDENTLY OF AN OUTLET BOX."
