mobile home lighting advise

4 years ago

I’m asking this for a friend, who recently bought a mobile home. The kitchen doesn’t have adequate lighting at all & he would like to hang a light over his table but it doesn’t have attic access or a junction box (since there wasn’t a preexisting light). Is there
Anyway to do that?

He has one light over the sink & we thought we might possible “fish” a wire over to the middle of the room (over the table) but since the mobile home came without a pre-existing light, I’m assuming we will run into a situation where there’s no support to even mount a new light?

This sounds like a call to the dealer who sold this mobile home…or even if the manufacturer can answer your questions….
