I have a couple of lights in the basement that are mounted "naked" and horizontally. Just would like to know if there is any restriction on doing that, e.g. height of the fixture?

While there is code that does NOT permit bare incandescent bulbs in closets and hanging fixtures over a shower zone, unfinished basements are not on the list. As suggested by Harper, fluorescent lights are a nice "work" light.
