All of our devices are damp-location rated, figuring it cannot hurt, and the premium is minimal.


there is a good point.

I think there are GFI's that are calibrated for a little higher trip current.

Those might be worth a try.


I guess GFI's can't be reset by just pushing a button, though. GFCI's can.


The former is also a breaker, and so must go through the "OFF" position before resetting - as with any breaker. The latter is not, and need only be reset.
