Hi,
I have cedar siding and I need to replace a broken flood light unit. The electrical wire comes through the wall through a hole about the size of a quarter and connects into the "box" of the flood light. I have looked far and wide on the net and don't seem to see these anymore. I only see ones which connect to electrical boxes that are recessed into the wall.
My question is - is it code to have a metal or plastic box for the flood light unit to attach to or is it ok to just have the wire come through the wall and into the unit? The unit will be subjected to rain and snow.
Thanks!!
