Hello
First time poster here.
I am a handyman and I am doing a job installing a track lighting on a drop ceiling. Electricity is not my strong suit but I'm fairly certain I know more than the average person.
My question is this: I installed the track directly to the T-Bar, everything is fine except now that I am running my metallic cable to it where do I junction the wires? I do not have a junction box although I suppose (A) I could poke the wires up a hole in the ceiling tile just under the escutcheon plate and insert them into a j-box but where would the j-box sit? or (B) run my MC down an opposing tile and use an optional power feed with KO. This option would be an eyesore I would think. Suggestions?
Thanks much! :huh:
