Installing a bathroom light fixture over a stud?

xyz_gd asked:


I recently remodelled my bathroom and will be replacing one light fixture with two directly over the sinks. The problem is that the wall stud is located directly over the center of the sinks… where I want to place the light fixtures.

Do they sell a special junction box that can be placed over a stud? My only other options would be to move the fixture to the left/right or install a light in the ceiling over the sink. I’m leaning towards the ceiling fixture if I can’t center the wall fixtures.
Daniel: I guess I didn’t describe it right… I want to place one light fixture over each sink, but the wall studs are centered in the middle of each sink. I now have a cabinet between the two sinks where the one light fixture used to be.

Robin: I might go with that idea if the light fixture base is large enough to cover the junction box hole in the wall. I was hoping there was a flat or half junction box that can sit next to a stud.
