Has the standard ceiling box (for light fixtures) changed since 1970?
I've installed new light fixtures in my condo - which was built in 1969. Installing the mounting brackets was no problem, as the screw holes lined up fine with the box. However, the mounting screws that attach the fixtures to the bracket always interfere with the box. Have the standard size of the box increased?
FWIW, most of the wiring is 12 guage/20a with 1/2" flex con, also acting as ground.
