DaveC:
You should check the bins at your local electrical/hardware store........ a
metal cover with a punchout for a standard duplex receptacle is readily
available. Most round boxes are 4" ...... however some ceiling light
fixture boxes are the smaller 3" variety and will not provide enough room to
fit a duplex receptacle......... however there are covers with a single
hole to allow the mounting of a single receptacle.... I think that these are
for a 4" round box but might be available in the 3" version....... again,
check your electrical supply stores or ask an Electrician at an Electrical
Contractors place of business.

Round box (4", I think) flush with wall board, used to have lamp fixture
attached. Want to install overhead on ceiling one of those "pull it
down/push
it back up) adjustable lamps. Lamp cord will run along ceiling and down
the
wall in plastic Wiremold lamp cord raceway and plug into round box which
will
contain a single outlet.

I'm having problems finding a way to install a single outlet (duplex
outlet
is less desireable, but would be acceptable) in the round box, and top it
off
with a nice plastic finish plate.

I've got everything but the outlet, cover plate, and a means to mount it
in
the round box. Is any of this possible w/o ripping out the round box and
replacing it w/a standard 4-square? (The box is flush with the wall board;
no
such luck installing a mud ring...)

Thanks,
