Flood lights

[Bama_Electrical]

This may seem like a bit of an odd question, but I mentioned a few weeks ago that I picked up a new job after the original electrician did about 90% of the rough-in and was unable to complete it. After wrapping up the panels and getting it inspected, I noticed that there is 12/3 and a 12/2 coming out of one of the eve’s for a flood light. The guy did some odd wiring there, but I think I have it all traced back. The question is, what round box for a flood light is available that will handle all those wires?

Probably need to use a deep masonary octagon box, or a 1900 box with a round plaster ring, but if the original contractor is like most resi guys, he was probably planning to just splice in the soffit, and screw the fixture to whatever the soffit is made of!

You're only talking about 13.5 cubic inches of box fill (6 x 2.25)

Here's one that's 14 cubic inch
