How do I set up wall lights fixture around drinking water pipes?

Then yet again, you would not even will need a box mainly because a connector would attach to your fixtur back again plate.
You could also search up "Ceiling fan boxes". I've viewed some that might actualy wrap about the stud providing area on each and every aspect for making connections.
