Out Of This World Wiring A Light Switch To Multiple Lights And Plug

I have one power switch in the bathroom that only controls the over head light.

Wiring a light switch to multiple lights and plug. Get all your tools and equipment to hand you will need pliers flathead. You can do this light switch wiring in one of two ways. When you re wiring decorative light switches such as chrome or stainless steel etc you ll find that the switch will also have an l2.

The other terminal is marked as l1 and is the output to the light fixture. One source is spliced to each switch with a pigtail to power the two lights. The old vanity light was wired to old wiring above the mirror that was not operated by the light switch.

The black connects to the switch and the white wire. Wiring a one way switch. The source is at the switch box and a 2 wire cable is run to each light.

Twist the other end together with the black wire from the incoming circuit cable and the black wire from the cable going. The most common is to daisy chain the light fixtures by connecting them to each other and hooking the first one up to the switch. Wrap wires clockwise around terminal screws wrapping the wire clockwise when wiring a light switch ensures that the loop on the end of the wire will tend to close when the screw is tightened.

The other way to wire multiple lights to one switch is to connect all of them directly to the switch in a home run configuration. There was a separate switch button on the old vanity light which the new light. Ok so i thought id take pics as i was doing this to show everyone else how its done this is a simple way to connect multiple cfls or leds in parallel using only one plug i only recommend going as high as 150 or 200 watts as any higher and you might as well use hps.

The switch serves to cut the power from reaching the light switch. A standard single pole light switch will simply require you to attach the black load wire into it and then the black wire leaving the switch and to your lights. Attach the wire to any outlet convenient and then carry on to the rest.
