1. A building electrical system comprising:
a first electrical mounting plate attached to a wall beneath a wall interior finishing panel such that the first electrical mounting plate is physically and electrically isolated from an interior surface of the wall;
a second electrical mounting plate attached to the wall beneath the wall interior finishing panel such that the second electrical mounting plate is physically and electrically isolated from the interior surface of the wall and such that the second electrical mounting plate is electrically isolated from the first electrical mounting plate;
a first wire which passes through an interior of the wall and connects the first electrical mounting plate to a power supply, wherein the power supply is located remotely from the first electrical mounting plate;
a second wire which passes through an interior of the wall and connects the second electrical mounting plate to the power supply, wherein the power supply is located remotely from the second electrical mounting plate;
wherein the first electrical mounting plate is connected to an electrical common output from the power supply;
wherein the second electrical mounting plate is connected to a positive electrical output from the power supply;
a low power electrical fixture mounted to the wall by first and second mounting screws, wherein the first mounting screw penetrates the wall interior finishing panel and penetrates the first electrical mounting plate and thereby electrically connects the fixture to the first electrical mounting plate, and wherein the second mounting screw penetrates the wall interior finishing panel and penetrates the second electrical mounting plate and thereby electrically connects the fixture to the second electrical mounting plate; and
wherein electricity is provided to the fixture via the first and second mounting screws.
