Historically, electrical outlets were frequently omitted from residential bedroom closets due to strict National Electrical Code (NEC) fire safety regulations designed to prevent electrical fires caused by hot incandescent light bulbs or plugged-in appliances coming into contact with flammable clothing, blankets, and boxes. However, modern electrical codes now permit outlets in closets under specific stringent conditions, provided they feature Arc-Fault Circuit-Interrupter (AFCI) protection and maintain safe clearances.
