Not to confuse matters, but as of Jan 1, 2002, the NEC requires AFCI devices
installed for bedroom receptacle outlets in new home construction. So, if
the shack is located in the bedroom of a new home...
Some newer GFI devices are now combined with the AFCI protection function.
AFCIs are really a good thing. It's likely my neighbor could have saved his
home from a lamp arc had an AFCI been installed.
