1. A lighting structure, comprising:
- a junction box having a cavity, wherein the junction box includes a wall having a notch formed therethrough; and
a mounting plate having an inner section and a perimeter section, wherein the junction box is attached to the mounting plate, the mounting plate having a wire opening therethrough for routing an electrical wire from the junction box to a light source, wherein the perimeter section of the mounting plate is outside the junction box, wherein the mounting plate includes an elevated wireway section providing a wireway for routing the electrical wire between the cavity of the junction box and the perimeter section, wherein a first portion of the elevated wireway section is in the cavity of the junction box, wherein a second portion of the elevated wireway section is external to the cavity of the junction box, and wherein the elevated wireway section extends through the notch and under the wall of the junction box.
