Installing Duplex Outlet (1 Viewer)

[pappy]

I need help. See the attached picture. I have this round can in my garage ceiling. I use it for a florescent fixture. I want to install a standard duplex receptacle, but the outlet won't fit in this can. Originally this can had a bare bulb fixture that I swapped out years ago.

Is there a way to adapt this round can to a standard one gang outlet? I want to move the florescent fixture over a few feet and use a three-prong cord to light it.

Thanks.

Use a round duplex receptacle: Amazon product ASIN B000HEHCAU
Or use a round duplex plate to install the receptacle of your choice: https://www.lowes.com/pd/steel-city-1-gang-round-metal-electrical-box-cover/1000195259

Thanks. I just came back from Lowes a half hour ago with that plate in hand. It took forever trying to find what I needed online. I suspect because I didn't know the right words.

Came out a little bit bubba, but it did get the job done.

What about installing something like this?

You'd get to keep a lightbulb, but also get an outlet plug.

I had a bare bulb socket originally. Over that I installed a florescent fixture. The plan was to move the florescent (now LED) fixture over, and install a second fixture. That is why I needed the two outlets. I went back to Lowes and bought an extension. It doesn't look quite as bubba.
