Got the floodlight mounted above the gable vent
Works great
It wasn’t an easy plug and play
I didn’t buy a fixture
I got separate pieces from the supply house

As you can see If I aligned the holes in the lamp holder cover vertically with the holes in the plastic wall plate the lamp holders wouldn’t be level, they would be on an angle. No biggie, just drilled 2 holes in the front face of the plastic wall kit so the lamps would be level
But I still had to put 2 screws in to attach the 2 pieces of the wall plate to each other, but I had to countersink those holes because the lampholder cover would not fit flush (screw heads sticking up)
I used stainless sheet metal screws
What I needed was a lampholder cover that would line up right where the lamps would be level
I hope I explained it right
Any suggestions that might make it a little simpler because I have another one to do

Use a cover made for a device box.

Better would have been the right siding box

I can’t tell from the pic, does that box have a space in it for the vinyl siding to slide in and where did you find that box

Man I appreciate it
If I was an electrician I would know this stuff but I’m not
The young guy at the supply house picked the parts out
He should’ve known what to give me
