Hi, not a security question, but I figure someone here may have an idea.
I would like to surface mount a set of exterior lights around the patio in our backyard. There is only one existing junction box in the stucco wall and I was thinking of running conduit from this box to the other locations.
For each new patio light, I will have to surface mount a octagon / rectangular junction box to the stucco wall and daisy chain 1/2 inch EMT conduit to all the lights. The light fixture will attach directly to the junction box, so it will sit off the wall at least 1.5 inches. I don't have the option of tearing into the stucco wall to route electric and to install junction boxes in the wall, so running conduit is my only choice.
Anyone have any ideas for making this look decent? I was thinking of building a wooden box that would attach to the wall and then meet the base of the light fixture. This would at least cover the junction box along with the unsightly gap between the wall and the light fixture. However, this seems like a bigger job than I'm ready to take on right now.
Example of the light that I will be using (looks similar to this)
Any ideas? Help is appreciated! Thanks!
