I am wondering just what box would be the best for adding a couple of Lights to an outside of an Out Building. When I have gone to Home Depot Type Stores they have a couple of round cut in type boxes but they vary as to the diameter. And not having the fixtures yet I am wondering will most light fixtures cover these being some boxes are 3/8 larger that others. They will be cut into T-111 wood.
Why does these boxes vary in size and diameter? Or is it okay to use a standard duplex box (not round) for this application? Would like the light fixture to mount flat to the wall to be able to run a bead of silcone around it to keep any water out. Some of the boexs seem to bevel up and out and would keep some fixtures from being flat up against the wall.
Any information would be help just in te planning stages.
Thanks,
