I'm replacing a broken porcelain lampholder that has no integrated outlet with one that has a built-in grounded outlet. Currently, the incoming supply wire has the ground wire connected to the ground screw on the metal junction box. With the new fixture I need to ground both the box and the fixture. I've attached two pictures to illustrate (these aren't pics of my actual setup, they're just for illustration -- my box is octagonal and is metal).
Is it acceptable for the ground wire to loop around the junction box ground screw (as seen in the picture), then continue on and attach to the fixture ground screw? Or does the fixture need to have a separate ground wire attached to a second ground screw on the box? Thanks.
