I used an existing Romex cable that was not connected to anything (it has power bc I tested with a non contact tester). I drilled through my plaster wall and fed the cable to the outside.
I added an external junction box so that I can install my flood light / camera.
I connected the hot, neutral, ground to my light/camera but did not ground the box.
I didn’t connect the ground bc I wasn’t sure if the ground in the Romex connected to ground.
(1) should I connect the romex ground to the box and pigtail to the light?
(2) how do I tell if the ground wire is properly grounded?
