An electrical junction box or a mounting assembly includes a box having a top wall and a side wall. The side wall extends downwardly away from the top wall and defines a cavity therein. A fixture support extends into the cavity and supports an electrical fixture. A threaded hole may be provided on the fixture support. Preferably, the fixture support has exposed portions which are sufficiently smooth for preventing wear to plastic-coated electrical wires which engage such exposed surfaces of the fixture support. Two or more fixture supports may be provided. The fixture support may enhance the use of conventional inwardly extending ears. An adhesive element, such as double-sided tape, may be provided on the box for rapid attachment thereof to a support surface.
