In my case I have 2 inch wide supports on which I need to mount my lights. I think any other situation, such as a wall, you're fine by recessing the junction box and mounting the light fixture over this. Then the > 4 inch base plate hides any unsightliness around the box. It seems my need is so niche it's not worth anybody's effort to address it. We've elected to simply cap the junction boxes and we'll see if we can find some lights some time in the future. I'd rather have no lights than ones that I don't like.<div class="comment-remix-meta"><a href="#" class="replyto" onclick="replyto('43044','Marc'); return false;">Reply</a> - <a href="#" class="quote" onclick="quote('43044','Marc','<a href=\'#comment-43041\' rel=\"nofollow\">@Laura<\/a> - The issue comes up in outdoor applications where you need to mount the light on a surface where the box cannot be recessed.

It seems my need is so niche it’s not worth anybody’s effort to address it. We’ve elected to simply cap the junction boxes and we’ll see if we can find some lights some time in the future. I’d rather have no lights than ones that I don’t like.
