Your weatherproof box mounts on the outside or inside, depending on the design, and it must only have the connections for the light (or in other cases the plug). If you need to junction, you need to have an inside octagonal junction (accessible) on the inside to distribute the power to other external boxes..
A separate octagonal junction? If I'm reading this correctly, another separate box with my junctions in it. Then feed my wire to the light mounting box?
The front of the garage has three boxes. One between the two doors and one on either side. So I would feed into a junction box. Split my three feeds. One to each light box. Terminating each feed in each light fixture.
You are not allowed to bury an octagonal (junction) box so it is inaccessible.What if it was drywalled?

One New years eve, hours before 40 people were to arrive I lost all power in my living room
I should add that whenever I get an inspection I always comply no matter what they say, no matter how weird it sounds....
Do I need a special box in these locations? Weather proof?
I believe the code is you cannot use that box as a junction box for other circuits. (ie running 14/3 into the box and using one for the light(s) and and the other to tap off and feed exterior plugs. You can run more exterior lights off that switch/circuit.)
The restriction applies when you use a shallow box that fastens on the outside of the exterior sheeting for your light.
Lowe's has it. They will sell online.Sitting here waiting for the gas inspector. Decided to try and source all my supplies. Ran into a problem with the NMD90 6/3 wire.
There is none to be found. Anyone here have an idea on where I might look.
I'm looking for 10 meters of NMD90 6/3 with a ground.
Thank you.
