Hello:
Regarding the typical house flood light fixtures, some with a motion detector, that you see at Home Depot and elsewhere. Typically mounted over a deck or a garage door.
Is it code permissible to mount them directly to the side of a house (wiring run inside the walls), or must there be a weather-tite electrical box between fixture base and the house outside wall ?
There is apparently more than enough room in the fixtures base for the wire nuts, so I don't see the need for any intermediate box, but was wondering what the "right way" of mounting it is.
Thanks, B.
