Under what circumstances is track lighting with receptacles allowed in public bathrooms?

When installed at least 6 feet above the floor
Only when installed with a GFCI protected circuit
Not allowed in bathrooms
When using LED lighting

The correct answer is: Not allowed in bathrooms

Track lighting with receptacles is generally not permitted in public bathrooms due to safety concerns. Public bathrooms are considered wet locations, where the potential for moisture exposure increases the risk of electrical hazards. The electrical codes prioritize the safety of individuals in these environments by limiting the types of lighting and receptacles that can be used. In these settings, fixtures need to be specifically rated for wet or damp locations, and track lighting with receptacles does not typically meet these safety requirements. This limitation helps ensure that there is no risk of electrocution or electrical fire, thus enhancing the overall safety of public restrooms. The other choices suggest scenarios where track lighting might be allowed, but they do not align with the stringent safety standards applicable to public bathrooms. For example, while GFCI protection significantly increases safety in bathroom installations, the use of track lighting with receptacles itself is still prohibited in these spaces regardless of installation height or type of lighting used, such as LED.
