Working on changing some incandescents out of the garage. I bought some cheap 4' LED lights from Home Depot as I liked them in the basement. The ceiling of the garage is sheet rocked over, and uses several round electrical boxes for the lights--but not necessarily where I want them. I can get into the attic. Does it make sense to just yank the boxes, patch the holes over, and then redo everything? Seems a bit overkill, but most of the boxes are recessed a bit into the sheetrock, so a cover would sit on sheetrock and have a, well, hack look anyhow.
While I can find round metal box covers I can't find similar in plastic, leading me to think that's a dead end--the idea of reusing the existing boxes and just dropping wire through them into the light fixtures. Putting in an outlet into each box is also out, as from what I'm reading, I need a GFCI outlet and it has to be readily accessible, not sure I feel like bothering with installing an outlet on the wall for this purpose.
