I’m thinking about installing maybe four of them in my newly remodeled bathroom ceiling. My concern is that, while I have a pitched roof, I have unfortunately no direct access to the space above the ceiling. I’m hoping I’ll be able to figure out a way to route the Romex from the switch up to the lights without having to cut too much additional drywall for access.
Was routing the wires, a problem for you or do you have access to your space above the ceiling?

Was there existing lights?

Wild suggestion….
Mount the boxes close to the switch and cut the male plug off of the light fixture.
Then snake 24 gauge wire from the LED to the male plug. In essence, you are extending the wire from the LED to a more accessible place for the box. It should be lots easier to run 24 gauge wire.

I didn’t have to run wires. I replaced existing recessed lights so all I had to do was remove the old fixtures and install the new LED fixtures.

NA, I’m gonna just run Romax up to the box and wire up the connections in the junction box that’s provided. I just wanna make sure that I’m staying in code.

I too thought about code but I assume that from the box to the LED light has to be low voltage.
Obviously the right way is to run the romex to the box.
