Can this be used when there is an electrical box already under the siding?

Yes. I had pre-existing boxes in the wall. So long as they are flush with the siding, these should work. I had to remove the jboxes because the builder cut the wiring too short, so I had to pull the wire as tight as I could, but they would have worked if I had left them in if I had enough wire to work with.

Yes, if you can feed the wires though the holes provided and mount the unit to the wall solidly, you will have no problem.

Yes,I put an electrical box behind the wall and the siding on the exterior of the building. I simply drilled a hole through the siding into the box.

Any electrical device without a ground can be used with this item. It is not designed for outdoor use, however, and any moisture would probably damage it.

Yes, you can. That's where I installed mine. If you have siding on your exterior wall, you may want to to cut it out where the box will go.

I don't think that would be a good idea. The system is pretty much built for interior use, which I say for a few reasons. The main thing would be the power cord, which is delicate and has delicate connections that tie into the actual plug that goes into a power outlet. This cord and its connections are pretty far from being hefty enough for exterior use. The box itself--where the electric current is generated, might be okay if it was protected from weather, but again just doesn't seem made for exterior use.

No and no. I agree w/ Don; use water tight electrical conduit if you need to bury it. That's what I'm going to do when I run it out to my gate intercom system.

Local code should require it to be mounted in a gang box because of high voltage (110). You could use a single gang box for the plug side and leave the other side open.

Yeah, if the wire box is slanded too, you shouldn't have a problem. You will just affix the ceiling cover accordingly.

The enclosure is not weather rated.You would normally install it at the circuit breaker panel which is probably indoors..

Just put screw thru and slide light over screw slot like a vertical phone. Siding liking nailed to wood or brick backing so should be strong enough

Like almost all fixed light fixtures, this fixture must be mounted to an approved electrical box. When replacing an existing fixture, you will find such a box inside the wall when you remove the old fixture. For a new installation on an existing wall you will need to purchase and install an electrical box approved for outdoor use, and then mount this fixture to the box. If you mount this fixture directly to an outside wall of any type, it will not be code-compliant and it will possible cause a fire. The whole ides of the electrical box is to make use the electrical connections are contained within a non-flammable container. vinyl siding is (potentially) flammable.

I wouldn't see why not, as long as it's hooked into the siding. They are very sturdy.

Not without enclosing it to protect it from the elements. If your breaker box is outside it would have to be enclosed somehow. You should place the generator connection outside and connect it to the transfer switch using conduit. I don't know of any transfer switch designed to be installed outside.

Regular round outlet box works. I put several under my eves on new construction.

Yes. It's a tight fit if there are more than 2 lines from the outlet box, but it can be done.

Hi Marilyn w. I am not an electric man but my fixtures were already recessed. I guess you could according to where you are putting them. The wires will be showing unless you hide them some other way. I had a friend to install mine. They are still working good. So if your junction box is not recessed I guess you could use screws to connect it and it should still work, you would just see the wires. Sorry I could not help you any more. Hope every thing goes well. stay strong! don't quit! :)

I have this unit on the outside panel, of course its partially protected by roof overhang. unless you've handle high voltage repairs/installs before I would have an electrician do this! after all, you're not surge protected...

I don't know why not. It is totally insulated. That's just my take on it, not an official electrician opinion.
