I was just thinking, are the junction boxes on can lights considered "hidden junction boxes"? I just bought 2 IC rated air-tite 4" Halo cans for new construction and the junction box isn't accessible "through the can". So after the can is up, wired, and drywalled there is no way to accesses the splices. The junction box on the fixture has 7 1/2 knock outs and 3 Romex connection points. I will be using EMT. How is this not considered hidden? I mean, they were manufactured like this and intended to be covered. The instructions say nothing about this of course. Any ideas? Aren't these against code?

Hi everyone im new here.I have a about 4ft tall light house with a light bulb inside on my front yard,the previous owner ran a direct burial wire from the light house to the side of the house which is like 10ft distance, so now im trying to make the light bulb work.im no electrician but i have low voltage and some electrical experience.i managed to run the direct burial wire into my attic and my option was to tap it off one of the can lights from exterior lights.when i tried testing the wire it would read 2.2k ohm resistance,wires were not touching each other when i was testing.my question is what would make the wire have resistance?and can how can i make it work?thanks
