Appreciate some guidance on installing a light outside. Had an exterior light with raceway on the siding, want to get rid of the raceway. If I replace with an exterior box, my understanding is I will need a box on the inside connected with a short piece of conduit. However that will require an ugly visible box high on the kitchen wall inside. Alternative is to cut a hole in the siding for a pancake box on the sheathing and run cable to that, but I'm nervous about flashing. Maybe I'm overthinking this, it's an old house so there is generous overhang from the (first floor) roof and this is just a foot or so below the roof. Still curious what SOP is, for outside lights high on walls without raceway on the siding.
