Reply to comment by dominus_aranearum in Running potlights in an unfinished basement - Toronto by otaknap

thanks for the info! i'm assuming for the slim style LED drivers, a junction box or jbox isn't needed. so I'm assuming you were using the two terms interchangeably? Normally, I would ground the 14/2 wire on the junction box but given that there is no junction box and just the driver, I assumed that grounding the junction box within is adequate and I can simply just place or screw the driver on the plywood.

Do you have a link for the lights you're using?

I haven't purchased them yet but I'm thinking about something like this:

The metal box is the j-box/driver in this case. Use stress relief on your romex and attach it to the plywood.
