Arlington ARL-FSC405R Arlington Low Profile Sconce Box

The outlet boxes solved the problem of how to fit the lights in a tight space. I was not aware that this product existed. I just happened to find it online. I ordered two and they arrived within days. They worked perfectly!

This box worked great to install a light where no box had been installed previously. The light that was taken down just had a wire coming out of a hole in the drywall. The space needed for this box was taken up by a regular depth electric box and the vent pipe for the sinks that the plumber decided to run straight up in the center, blocking the option to install a deeper box to center the light. I traced the box and cut the drywall to match. This shallow box comes with 1/2 and 5/8 inch drywall thickness adapters, a cord grip insert to hold the wire in place and the screws you will need. The clips that hold the box in place did seem to bend out slightly as it was tightened into place and felt like they could break if tightened too much, but the box was firmly in place and attached well. It seems strong enough to hold up the 3 bulb vanity light we installed. I don't think I would use it for a really heavy light or one that hangs from the ceiling. The one thing you may need is shorter screws for your light attachment hardware as the box is shallow. I have included a picture of the instructions and some install steps to help visualize how this box installs.

Liked it a lot. Worked out as well as I hoped. Made sure the vanity light was just 4 pounds as indicated in the box.

Tight squeeze in a bathroom with pipes directly behind, really liked this system and it grabs the drywall well for a solid hold

The wiring to our outdoor porch lamp is old and was fed through the old original gas line from back when the house had gas lamps. Because of the fixture inside the wall we needed a shallow box for the new wiring. This worked perfectly! So happy I have a light again!

Needed to center vanity light over sink and mirror in bathroom remodel. The venting for the drain was centered as well of course and a normal light box would not fit! The light I was installing had some weight to it and this box was strong enough and so easy to install. Could not be happier with it.
