Default Where to put the electrical box.

Hi,

I need to install a ceiling light, right where there is the 1x that
you can see in this pictu

So where can I put the electrical box, or can the connections be made
inside the light (It would be in the space between the drywall and the
fiberglass insulation on the light - doesn't sound compliant, does
it?)?

Many thanks in advance!

Aaron



If you are only using that existing two conductor cable to feed the light, a
pancake box should suffice and can be mounted on the wood. Bring the cable
into the box from behind using a button Romex connector.
