Can I access the junction box from inside the housing when the ceiling is installed?

I put mine in an existing drop ceiling. If you are talking about the box on the unit Yes.

Yes you can and I did. Ge makes a low profile junction box (model 24772, sold on Amazon) that links your household circuit and these lights. Mount it under your cabinet, then you just add additional together with the link cables supplied with the lights. Works very well and I really like the bright white light these units put out.

Yes, I belive the housing does separate from the light so you can screw it in. I actually had run hard wires through the walls for these ahead of time and I just used a telephone jack (external wall jack) as a nice way to hide the connection for the wires.

Yes. I plugged mine in on the ceiling along with the garage door opener. They give you a little clicker looking thing that you use to pair the repeater with your opener. That is the only time you'll use that. I clipped it up by the opener motor in case I ever need it again. Probably never will.

Yes you can. I have it from the ceiling in my house and it works perfectly fine.

You should be done but hubby says yes . The positions of what where are a matter of your choice. I have the light up and the vent in the bottom position.

No, as long as you have the hot wires coming out of the ceiling, they will be coming from a box.

Yes it does. There are 2 very small screws that hold the houseing in place and the light itself clips into the housing. I was able to recess the light into the drywall and then screw the housing to a 2x4 which was behind the drywall and then clip the light into place. So the light is now flush with the drywall.

You need to have access to the space about the bathroom ceiling for the mounting and wiring. Alternatively, you could create a box that would, in effect, lower the ceiling and hold this unit and then attach that to wood through the sheetrock of the ceiling.

You can go either way. For instance, I mounted one of mine on the basement ceiling facing my electrical panel which was near a porcelain fixture with an outlet. I just used a small piece of lamp cord with plug and plugged it in. If you are going to mount it in a finished area, wiring may be a little more difficult.

As long as there's a box in the ceiling..there shouldn't be any problem to get it installed!!

Yes you can. Open the front and back covers first. Next to the emergency light on the inside of the housing, you will see 2 plastic "L" hooks (not sure the right term for it). In front of each hook, there is a little tab on the inside where you can press in to allow the emergency light to twist out from the housing. The wiring is very easy to trace and has a small plug that you just pull out. I have an extra one here and this just took me about 5 mins to do, from opening a new box, removing covers, etc.

Yes, that is what we did to avoid ripping out the ceiling. The installing electrician wired it hot to the fixture, so we had a couple of arcs getting it out, but the 'guts' are a direct replacement.

I believe so. That was my intention when I hung it through a hole in the ceiling and wanted to put the wires running through the attic. My electrician didn't want to do that so I ended up having to do it myself just through the walls. Also, if you're using a cable box, the box has to be within sight so those wires from the screen to the box wouldn't be hidden anyway.

This unit is designed to be installed into a light fixture or junction box. It is not a flush- mount unit.

Short answer is yes, assuming you can access the studs in the ceiling. If you can't get the mounting bolts into a solid surface (studs), then I would not recommend using this system.

yes, just make sure top eye screws are screwed into a stud in ceiling or it will come soon !
