24F at sunrise here. High near 40F today but mostly cloudy is the forecast.
I need to make a cover plate today for recessed can ceiling light that will be covered by a floor to ceiling cabinet. The cabinet is going to hide the refrigerant and drain lines for a mini-split unit.
My thought is to remove the light bulb, screw in one of those bulb socket outlet things in its place so the socket isn't empty. Cut a round piece of light sheet metal that will fill the center hole in, and be held in place by the beauty ring. I will also remove and wire nut the hot wire to the light at the switch. The switch controls that one light only. Safe enough?
