LED Lighting In RACO 175 Junction Boxes

Here are PDF albums showing installation of LED lighting in RACO 175 lighting junction boxes, in a new bathroom ceiling. I detail the procedure where one person does the work, with a few trips to the attic. Even with multiple workers, a safe attic ladder and attic lighting are important to getting the job done safely.

There is a single Romex power cable here twist-connected to the kit quick-connector. LSGC instructs removal of the ring terminal on the green fixture ground lead/ security wire. Why? I have here attached the ring terminal to an 8-32 fixture mounting screw. It will be better to "bond" the ring terminal at the box "green screw", if all attachment at the green screw is with ring terminals.

Where professional electricians become involved with a national LED conversion campaign, I wonder what they will bring to further evolution of the hardware.

Please contrast this achievement of air-tight strong installation,  to what most people will expect, using a plastic box in a T91 installation. Where a box is not solidly set in the ceiling, it is hard to complete a seal around it. The seal is less important than the reduced power draw, but it is silly to skip maybe 20% of the potential savings vs. poor incandescent lighting.
