Re: Where does the ground wire go?

If a connection were to fail it would generate heat. If the keyless light base is screwed directly to a wood cage ceiling for instance, it could catch fire.

The junction box protects and isolates the electrical connection.

I know a lot of people do screw these light fixtures to the cage ceiling but it is a very unsafe practice.
