I've installed a pendant light fixture onto the preexisting plastic ceiling box. Now I need to install another similar fixture several feet (1'-4') away from the first. According to code, do I need a second ceiling box or can I make an opening in the drywall and fish Romex in the ceiling to the adjacent box for coupling?
If the latter is per code, that means I'm allowed to make a connection using wire nuts without the connection being contained inside a ceiling/junction box?
TIA
