I have three light fixtures that I want to remove. I believe there is a box behind each one. If there is, is it okay to put a wire nut on each exposed wire and wrap in electrical tape and then close up the box with a cover? Are there any other steps necessary?

Thanks

As long as the box covers are left exposed what you want to do is fine. It is not permitted to enclose or hide the boxes or ends of wire inside a wall or ceiling.

Hey, wait a minute.

This is awkward, but...
