Default Romex through Cinder block

So, *no* Jbox on which to hang the fixture? How do you plan on
connecting (wiring) the fixture to the ROMEX conductors? Where
do you expect the service loop to be stored -- tucked inside the
block wall??



The fixture is it's own junction box and mounted on a bracket already
screwed onto the cinder block exterior. The wires will be connected in it.


What's on the *inside* of the block wall? Will you just have a
piece of ROMEX poking out a hole, draped along the wall/through the
ceiling to the loadcenter?


Pretty much that. It'll exit the hole on the inside and run to the
panel. No junction box is required per code.


Define "best". : Do you care about Code or just want to get the lights
lit? :

The method I'm following is within code.

Here, I install boxes *in* the block so there is a place for the
wires to terminate *and* for the fixture to attach. Just like you'd
encounter *in* an interior wall...


No need. See above for mounting info.
