Best Wiring 2 Lights To One Plug
I ve dismantled them now but wondering how worried i should be that these have been sitting in the rig ready for use because it might mean a more in depth search for other bits of questionable practice needs to.
Wiring 2 lights to one plug. My light fixture had 2 wires one black and one white wire. The neutral from the source is connected directly to the neutral terminal on the light and the source hot is spliced with the white loop wire. Step 2 run the cable.
This circuit is wired with a 2 wire cable running from the light to the switch location. I know that if i was to run a light switch to only one light i would connect the black wire from the switch. Just wondering am i correct in thinking that much like household wiring it s a really bad idea two have two lights wired into one physical plug.
Taking sheathed cable strip about an inch or so and then run it from the switch to the fixture. Get all your tools and equipment to hand you will need pliers flathead. What i want to do is have both lights work off the same switch.
At sw1 it is connected to one of the terminals. In this instance two par 64s. 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.
Run a 14 2 wire from the sub panel box to a device box for a plug receptacle then to a light box octagon box and then to another light box octagon box and finally to another two device boxes for plug receptacles. Step 3 connect the wires. You will want to run a cable from the power source to the first light switch and then from the first switch to the second switch.
The white wire is marked black on both ends to identify it as hot. This video is about installing two leviton light switches on one power source. Then you will have to push the stripped sheathing into the box.
