I bought an inexpensive light fixture for back porch ceiling and it
has a tag on the wiring that says:

Caution: Risk of fire, most dwellings built before 1985 have supply
wire rated 60 degrees C, consult a qualified electrician to ensure
correct branch circuit conductor.

What does this mean? Never saw this tag on electrical fixtures
before.

Thanks,

It's a cover your ass disclaimer, telling the installer that he can't
install the fixture on wiring types rated at less than 75 or 90 degrees
