I'm hardwiring some 4ft LED shop lights into my drywalled garage ceiling. I have access to the level about the drywall. The lights I got are cheap, linkable LEDs the come with both receptacle plugs and hard wiring plugs. Problem is that the output comes off the side of the light, not the top. How do I transition through the drywall with a cord adhering to US electrical code so I can tie into the NM-B? I don't want to put plugin receptacles up there because local code states everything in the garage needs to be GFCI... and GFCI needs to be accessible so I'd need to add another plug reciprocal to the circuit on the wall somewhere near by ground level. I don't want to do that if I can avoid it. What do?
Drill a hole through the drywall and run the cord straight through like a savage?
Some kind of cable outlet style box cover?
Put a j box on the ceiling and run the plug into it through a romex cable clamp?
Pretty much every installation I can find either there is no drywall or the output for the lights comes out the top of the light.
