| Mar 17, 2019 at 15:31 | comment | added | Harper - Reinstate Monica | I suspect the box is there specifically to support a light in that location. It was specced at build time, because that is when that is easy, and then left for the homeowner to finish as s/he pleases. Which is good, because at the time they would have installed a cheap Edison base and an incandescent, and I have personally witnessed a fire started by one of those in an under-stair storage space... whereas you can now choose cool running bulbless LED fixtures. | |
