I am installing several new light fixtures in an old home. The wiring is old BX, and rossetta fixtures (at least that is what I am told they are called), that the wire is fastened to, and the existing fixtures mounted over. My question is two fold:
First, if a new sconce fixture can fit over this 'rosseta', can I leave it there?
Second, If the ceiling light fixture requires connection to wires rated for 90 degree celsius, is there an option to installing the wires in a metal box, fastening it to a joist in the ceiling and installing a new box below it with romex going from the metal box to the plastic box being installed to mount the light to?
