Ceiling Mount
How can I mount a ceiling light fixture without an electrical box?
My house is about 83 years old and there is about 1/2″ of plaster covering some small wood slats. The wires come through two holes drilled in the wood. The existing fixture basically was held in place with anchors in the plaster and possibly even was screwed right into the wood slats. The instructions for the new fixture state to fasten to the electrical box…… but there isn’t one. Can anyone help??

The instructions for the new fixture (not a ceiling fan, just a plain old 3-socket fixture) state to fasten to the electrical box…… but there isn’t one. Can anyone help??
Its totally against code to have a fixture connected without a box, but its not the end of the world. If you can confidently secure the fan, it needs a lot of support!! Keep the connection in the canopy of the fan and that will work fine. I do stress that this is against code, but I wouldn’t lose sleep over it.
