Welcome to our LEONLITE Electrical Boxes category, where you'll find high-quality PVC junction boxes designed for secure and efficient electrical installations. Whether you're tackling a new construction project or retrofitting existing walls, LEONLITE's one-gang, ultra-deep device boxes provide the space and durability needed for switches, GFCIs, outlets, and step lights. As a trusted brand in electrical supplies, LEONLITE stands out for its commitment to safety and innovation, making these boxes a go-to choice for DIY enthusiasts and professionals alike.
Why Choose LEONLITE Electrical Boxes?
LEONLITE has built a strong reputation in the electrical industry for producing reliable, ETL-listed products that meet rigorous safety standards. Their electrical boxes are made from robust PVC material, resistant to impacts, corrosion, and environmental factors, ensuring long-term performance in residential and light commercial settings. Unlike generic options, LEONLITE boxes feature ultra-deep designs that accommodate more wiring, reducing the risk of overcrowding and overheating.
Within this category, we feature two standout 12-packs: the 22.5 cubic inch new work box and the 20 cubic inch old work box, both in gray for a sleek, professional look. These packs offer excellent value for bulk projects, allowing you to outfit multiple locations without compromising on quality. For broader context, these fit seamlessly into our Electrical Boxes selection under Electrical supplies.
New Work vs. Old Work: Choosing the Right LEONLITE Box
Understanding the difference between new work and old work boxes is key to selecting the perfect fit for your project. New work boxes, like the LEONLITE 22.5 cubic inch model, are designed for open-wall installations during initial construction or major renovations. They nail directly into studs, providing a sturdy base with extra depth for pulling wires and mounting devices securely.
In contrast, the old work version, at 20 cubic inches, uses a low-voltage bracket system for easy installation in finished walls. Simply cut a precise opening, insert the box, and tighten the wings to clamp it in place, no need to tear out drywall. Both models share LEONLITE's signature features: smooth interiors for easy wire pulling, built-in cable clamps, and generous knockouts for flexible conduit entry.
- New Work (22.5 cu in): Ideal for framing stages; larger capacity for complex wiring.
- Old Work (20 cu in): Perfect for remodels; quick retrofit without structural damage.
If you're comparing brands, LEONLITE often outperforms alternatives like those in TICONN Electrical Boxes or QILIPSU Electrical Boxes in depth and ETL certification, offering superior space for modern devices.
Key Features to Consider When Shopping
When browsing LEONLITE electrical boxes, prioritize these essential attributes:
- Cubic Inch Capacity: 20-22.5 cu in provides ample room for GFCIs, dimmers, and multiple conductors.

Common Use Cases for LEONLITE Boxes
These boxes excel in various scenarios. Use the new work model for kitchen remodels, installing under-cabinet lighting or appliance outlets during framing. The old work box shines in bedroom upgrades, adding smart switches or USB outlets to existing walls without mess. They're also perfect for outdoor step lights, patios, or garage wiring where moisture resistance matters.
For conduit runs, pair them with fittings from our Electrical Boxes, Conduits & Fittings category. Homeowners appreciate the professional finish, while electricians value the time savings on bulk jobs.
