Abstract: An electrical box insert device is disclosed that provides users with an easy way to terminate power to pot lights and electrical devices. The electrical box insert device comprises a housing sized to be inserted into an existing electrical box. A sheathed electrical cable is inserted through an opening of the housing and secured to a conductive bus bar continuatively connecting cables and/or terminating power to an electrical box. Typically, a user manually strips the outer sheath of the cables and the conductor sheath, exposing the conductors. The exposed conductors can then be secured to the conductive bus bar continuatively connecting cables. Furthermore, an electrical outlet can be secured via a sheathed electrical cable to the conductive bus bar continuatively connecting cables.
