摘要 |
An electrical assembly, such as a lighting assembly, includes a housing adapted for mounting to a wall or ceiling. The housing has an outer wall for attaching to the wall or ceiling and an opening for wire connections between the housing and the power source. An access plate adapter is removably coupled to the opening in the housing to define a channel between the housing and the wall or ceiling. The adapter has a bottom wall and a side wall forming a well and an outwardly extending top wall at a top end of the side wall. The bottom wall has as plurality of tabs forming hooks for coupling with the opening in the housing wall. The top wall of the adapter has a dimension to contact the surface of the wall or ceiling and form a seal to define a closed channel between the housing and the wall or ceiling. |
