I have direct-wire beneath cabinet lights (120 volt) that are spliced to 14 gauge Romex coming out of the wall. An electrician run the Romex down to each standard lamp and the lights themselves were designed to be plugged directly into a standard outlet.
I'm wondering how big the fork box that holds the splices has to be. Each box is merely used by one light. The box I'm using in a minute (http://www.radioshack.com/product/index.... ) has plenty of room for the Romex, lead fron the light, and the two nuts. In fixture, each telecommunication is secured to the box itself.
Does this box pass muster? Anything else fishy contained by my setup?
Thanks.
Answers: shoild work...how do you plan on making the holes in the box..also how do you plan on securing the romex to the box so it cant be pulled out...bring in sure you use the correct size wire nuts...move off yourself enough rope so its easy for you to splice the line and still have room to put adjectives that back into the box...do not forget to ground everything...
More than sufficient. The reality that it in your kitchen close to water, adjectives wiring must be connected to a GFI breaker. This provides further protection from an electrical chock.
