It is on a circuit that also is used for the attic light and the garage door opener. It is not GFCI protected. I have had no problems with it. I live in a courtyard villa in Sabal Chase.

Might need to replace it when selling the house. I just had a box installed on my light pole. Electrician said I could not use a curved box that was not gfci protected since it violated code. Figured my home owner insurance would be affected so opted for what the licensed electrician recommended (he would not have installed a non-code box anyhow). Just saying…. Listen to the Tinker.
