I am installing a projector in my basement and it will be on the ceiling. I intend to install an outlet there rather than run an extension coard above my ceiling tiles.
Is there any thing I should be concerned about, or typical code requirements? Can I install the outlet above the ceiling tiles, or does the outlet have to be exposed below the tiles? Do plugged in devices have to have immediate access to the plug in location, or is it ok that its hidden behind a ceiling tile?
I intent to simply mount a box on a ceiling joist, install an outlet, and a faceplate, and call it a day. Is that ok?
I don't really want to call an electrician and pull a permit for this, but I suppose I can if its absolutely necessary.
