Question:

If this light is installed in a closed box, how deep does the box need to be? I see that the dimension for the light depth is 1 5/8inch but how much more do the plugs stick out the back of that?

I went to our warehouse and put together the light, part # STL201RFMB, with both the 3-wire, part # A45PMB, and 2-wire, part # A42PMB, pigtails.

With both pigtails plugged in I measured abouut 2-1/4 inches from the front of the light to where the wires enter the connector. You need a little more space than this for the wires to have room to bend so I'd guess you want at least 2-1/2 inches at the very least.
