When trouble shooting a roof leak in the attic I came across some exposed wiring i.e. 3 wire 14 AWG Romex connected with wire nuts. I have two lights that are controlled by one switch for my back porch. . After tracing each it looks like the second light was run off the lead to the first light...obviously aftermarket. The first light is mounted to an eave with no access from above and the switch is on an outside wall so I understand why the previous owner elected to tap into the line where he did. I know the right answer would have been to run the lights in series from #1 to #2 or in parallel from the switch but...
Can I just add a juntion box to cover the exposed wiring and mount it to a ceiling joist to bring it up to code or do I need to rewire the whole thing?
Corpus Christi Texas if it matters.
Thanks,
Boyd
