I would like to remove POS conduit on the side of my house feeding external lights. I can run wire through fire-blocking in stud wall and out through the siding. The question is, assuming I use lampholders rated for wet-damp locations, what options do I have for a junction box?
One option appears to be a "T" box, but it looks like these are designed to bring wires in from conduit.
Another option is a device box such as a pancake box. Can I put this over the sheathing or should I recess it? If I just recess into beveled siding, parts of the box will be exposed. There is an overhanging roof but still.... Is caulking the only option for flashing?
Thanks for any advice.
