Tim,
When my former company ( located in NJ ) applied for their UL listing, a
UL representative came to the shop and spent the day dissecting and testing
the letters and raceways. Not only was the GTO to be in sleeving or conduit,
the sleeving and conduit (as well as all components) had to be UL listed.

This was not a requirement in that UL inspection, as all of the letters
had standard plexiglas faces. Maybe the acrylic has to be UL approved? I'm
out of my league here.
Hope this helps,
