Help with mounting exterior light fixture
Looking to change an exterior light fixture to a Google Camera/Floodlight. After turning off the breaker, I removed and disconnected the old fixture and was about to start attaching the mounting plate, however, the electrical box has screw holes around its perimeter while the mounting plate has the screw holes near the center. I gave up and put the old fixture back in place. Any suggestion on how to make this work, or do I need to call a pro to have them replace the box? Photos of the box and mounting plate here. submitted by /u/darth_sudo [link] [comments]
