Hi there: I need to install a motion detector security light to a mobile home where there is no pre-wiring to have such a fixture. I bought a motion detector flood light at Ace and they said that I could just cut off the end of an outdoor extension cord and wire that to the light fixture, thus making the fixture able to be hung anywhere and just plug it into an outdoor receptacle for power. I am willing to try this but I am still not clear on how this can be mounted to a surface (like the eave or even a post) since the wire will not allow the mounting surface of the light fixture to be flush to whatever it is attached to. Anyone have any suggestions on if this is possible? Thank you!

I'm trying to install some recessed lights above my kitchen counters and found I have two potential obstructions: two Romex wires and a PVC pipe. :wall: [IMG]http://www.savannahgreen.org/dev/ceiling.jpg[/IMG] I did some measuring and discovered that the PVC pipe is in far enough that it won't interfere with the 6" can, but the can will definitely be within 1" of the pipe. I'm concerned that the heat from the light bulb might melt the pipe. There's enough slack in the Romex that I could push them to the side, but once I slide the can in they will be touching the can. I'm guessing that's a no-no; is it? Is there anything that I can do to install the can light in this location without creating a hazard? My can has "IC22R" on the barcode label; I don't know if that means that it has the IC rating that doesn't require 3" of air space around the light. I cannot move the hole without totally messing up my lighting plan. If I cannot install the light at this very spot then I have to repair the hole and scrap the whole plan. But I'd rather scrap the plan than burn down my house. I'd appreciate any advice you can offer. Thanks!
