Lighting Question

EMonitor Jan 28, 2005 12:14 AM

I have a wood cage made out of 3/4 inch oak. I would like to use Keyless Porcelin fixtures mounted to the ceiling. It looks like the wires would be flush with the ceiling on these. Any suggestions on mounting these? Do I need some king of spacer in between them?

Thanks

You need to mount one of those electrical boxes to the ceiling first. Typically square or circular and made of galvanized steel. There are also plastic ones, I believe.

These are a must and they help disperse heat.
