Lighting clearance from hydronic heating element
Lighting clearance from hydronic heating element
(OP)
Hello,
I was trying to find CEC reference which discusses clearance of luminaire/lighting fixtures from hydronic ceiling radiant heating element, but am unable to find one. Please do point me in the right direction should there be a code that addresses this issue.
Thank you.

RE: Lighting clearance from hydronic heating element
I don't believe you will find a code that deals with this. However, I don't think it matters unless the luminaire you are proposing is beneath (in the thermal view of) the radiant panel. Radiant panels are typically insulated on top and sides.
Give us a detailed description of your application, and perhaps one of the others in the forum will have had more experience to share. I have only run across radiant panels twice when designing lighting, and I had no issues. I laid out my lights first, and the mechanical engineer spaced the panels to look nice and keep some symmetry. So none of them wound up adjacent to my fixtures.
Good on ya,
Goober Dave
