Default Two adjacent ceiling lights. Need two ceiling boxes?

Based on your statement, could I instead use the fixture's wiring for
routing to the adjacent box and make the connections there? My only
concern is that this wiring is not Romex.


NO. Fixture wiring is allowed only inside the fixture canopy and the junction
box the canopy is attached to. YOU NEED A SECOND BOX. Period.


It is not 100% clear to me what the OP is trying to do,
but although a little ugly, he might be able to use
Panduit/Wiremold like stuff to achieve his goals.


Maybe I'm confused, but if your putting in a second fixture, doesn't
that fixture need a second box to fasten on to? Otherwise, what holds
it? Seem straightforward that you would put in a second box and then
attach second lighting fixture to it.
