    "In a diesel engine room I think a 110 vac work light ought to be safe enough
    if it is connected through a GFI. With all the metal and moisture
    around it could be an electrocution hazard without a GFI"

    Jim:

    I mentioned that I use a fluorescent bulb so that doesn't unscrew because it
    is a bayonet, my assumption is that it is lower voltage at the terminals
    anyway - or am I wrong?

    My outlets are all protected by a GFCI on the main breaker panel. Is there a
    reason to have additional GFCI's at the outlets themselves? A surveyor once
    noted this on a insurance survey he did for me.
