   Use a pancake box surface mounted to the stud.

   You say light-S.

   Mark has a good idea with the pancake box-put that at the end of the line.

   There's also boxes usually meant for ceiling applications-there full depth box on each or one side-and a formed area to mount around/over a framing member.  These if you need to have the feed there.

   The fan box you describe is only good if you want a round box, centered over the stud.

   There are saddle boxes with most any configuration-one side, center and other side..........well, the side box you turn the other way.

   So no, you don't need to center on a stud.  You can straddle with the side offset-or add a correct sized block to the edge of the stud to kick it over even more.

   What Paint to use on Poplar and MDF Cabinet doors

   How should I paint Poplar doors with a MDF pannel?  I am wanting them to be  white

   I saw at the cabinet shop they had M.L. Campbell's Magnalac's precatalic white paint which they were spraying.

   What do you recommend?  

   1. Sand

   2. Primer

   3. Brand and Model of Paint

   4 Sand between coats?

   5. Number of coats?

   Wait time between each?
