Need to identify a ceiling bracket.

It looks like a surface mount box. Judging by the wiring, there may be code issues...

Is there a reason you want to go surface mount and not just put an "old work" box in the ceiling?

I was going to say it was a wire mold box until I re-read your description.

I work in Home Depot electrical and we have nothing that looks like that. Sorry.

I would remove the light completely, then remove this "bracket" and see what's up there behind the bracket. Then we could help you with a replacement..

testing, please ignore this post.

It is an old Wiremold box. However the eight inch diameter is no longer in the catalog. Wiremold #V5738A (Extension Box Open Base) is 6 3/8" and appears to be the largest currently available. I would not be surprised if some old electrical supply houses still have the eight inch model on their shelves.

Oops. My mistake. The correct Wiremold number for the 6 3/8" is V5739A

Print the image and take it with to the "holy H".

Yeah, it's a Wiremold "Circular Fixture Box" (BF4).....can't miss that Wiremold orange.

I got the bracket from HD, it is what John said it was, a wiremold. There are tons of em at HD and the guy knew exactly what it was by looking at the pic.

Thanks all. :)
