It's been a while since I did residential. I have a church member who wanted me to install a motion sensing light outside his garage.
I was thinking king of just going to the artic and finding a nearby box for splicing power.
However, what would be the best material code wise for the branch circuit after drilling a small hole for outside and wall anchors?
If I use nm romex cable it would be OK until I exit the wall outdoors (as it is not rated for outdoors) even if the nm cable was terminated inside the outdoor box it is still an outdoors installation. I would also have to match the AWG size and insulation type, temp etc that the wire is splicing to in order to avoid violating tap rules and such. (Added this incase one comments)
Or do people just do thos anyway and inspectors look the other way?
