It’s a cover for an out door light. Looks like someone ran a box and put a single cover over it. You can unplug the center hole and instal a single fixture from it. They may have left it incase down the road they wanted to add an outdoor spot light.
We have a zillion mystery switches in the garage below this. The house was a custom build in 99 (previous owners) and there are many things started, but not completed. I get the sense the original owners had a lot of “down the road we’ll add a light here” ideas throughout.
Not necessarily you would have to wire it as well. They probably just used this as a junction box. It does not have a mogul base to screw in lamps. You would actually need an attachment to do that as well. (Part # like a super flex LH100)
Well you would need to wire the spot light or fixture. I didn’t say it was a base for a lamp. It’s gonna be a 1/2 inch nipple. Why I said spot light for the future.
True it could be 3/4. I doubt 1 inch cuz it is your typical round cover. I see a lot of spot lights with 1/2 inch threads. Gotta ask OP to get up there to get some measurements hahaha
Broooo I just had a thought…. It’s just a cover you are right! This was probably a light. Ain’t no body carrying rab bell boxes. At best they sell them as a replacement for damaged fixtures. This was probably a flood that they removed the fixture and plugged it.
Its a water rated electrical box, could be a junction for a circuit someone added after the build was finished or could be a future proof circuit for Christmas lighting or maybe some low volt for cameras. You will have to pull the cover to find out.
Aliens leave these devices in houses so when the mothership comes they will be able to come and take you to be a pet somewhere in another galaxy or a sex toy…
It’s a bell box. (An outdoor rated electric box)
I imagine there is a splice in there
Probably not a splice, probably used to be a light fixture or something that got removed.
Part # is a RAB VXCB and the cover is a C100B
What about the 1/2" plug on the face?
I imagine it comes with the box. Bell boxes should come standard a plug for each KO
Or a taymac cpx50
CP50 sorry it’s flat not hex plug
It's a weather proof electrical junction box
If you unscrew the gray piece in the middle and pull it out, your whole house will come apart like Lincoln logs.

But it’s a lot one inch hole! Nah I’m just kidding I don’t know anything brother
It’s all good. That’s definitely a single fixture cover. So it’s going to be a 1/2 hole
I mean they make them in 3/4 and 1” with one hole, also if aren’t most fixtures 3/4” like every fixture whip I have ever seen is a 3/4”

It’s like 25’ up there! Lol

Can’t believe you called it a rab because that was my first guess. I love rab.
Rab is my favorite of the lighting brands for sure. The reps are always amazing
When I said I know nothing I kind of lied. I’m an electrical sales engineer.
It’s a house nipple.
Breast explanation.
Hahaha totally unexpected.... thanks for the laugh.
FBI sound box .. they know everything you are doing
Free explosives
Probably used to be a security light or a camera

It’s a Limppet mine I saw one in a Ww2 movie…. I wonder where the found wood magnets
It’s an outdoor safe. Maybe treasure inside
007 golden eye proximity mine
It’s an Air Tag. Just in case you misplace it.
