A recessed luminaire bears no marking indicating that it is ""Identified for Through- Wiring."" Is it permitted to run branch-circuit conductors other than the conductors that supply the luminaire through the integral junction box on the luminaire?

Answer:

No it is not permitted

Step-by-step explanation:

It is not permitted because as per NEC 410.21 policy no other conductor is allowed to be passed through integral junction box luminaries unless such conductor supply recessed luminaries.

The marking will show that the Luminaries is of the right construction or right installation to ensure that the the conductors ( in the outer boxes ) will not be exposed to temperatures greater than the conductor rating, hence the lack of marking makes it not to be permitted.
