I got a flushmount ceiling light that has a 90C wiring warning on it.
My home was built in 1956. I found the electrical wiring that runs to the light I want to change. I can't read the text printed on the wiring completely, it partially reads:
TYPE NM-B 600 VOLT9
Here's a picture of the fixture on the other side:
Anyone know if "NM-B" wiring is safe for 90C?
Thanks

NM-B is rated for 90°C. Here's an excerpt from Southwire’s Romex® SIMpull® Type NM-B web page.
From NEC
However, keep in mind that the ampacity is limited to that of a 60°C conductor.
