![]() All your doing is putting a switch inline to your lights, to shut them off and on. Black into the top of the switch and black on the bottom of the switch tie both whites together (power coming in and power going to the lights. I just read ur last message, now the way i'm see it is you don't want all the lights on at once, so what i would do is this, from ur power coming in to the room don't go directly to the switch,instead install a junction box,( just a small 3 or 4" box) go into this box( before i get to far ahead of myself GET RID OF THE 3 WIRE AND THE 3 WAY SWITCH) now back to the junction box from here feed ur standard switch, which i believe is a single pole switch. I do not really know now how I can joing the 2 cables. As it was hooked up and working before there must be a way to do it again. :-(Īnyway - I moved the light that need to go and pulled new cabling. So, now I am sitting there with my cabling apart. I had noticed too late that the 2 wire cable was the one coming from the outside bringing in the electricity and had already unhooked everything and moved the fixture. From there the electrician had pulled 3 wire cabling to the switch and a second fixture. The 2 wire came from the general box from the outside and went into that fixture "A". This needs to happen in a fixture/lamp that I have moved to the storage area I am building.Īctually - this kind of wiring was already in place. Eveything is going fine except that I need to join a 2 wire cable with a 3 wire cable. ![]() I am finishing my basement and are doing the electrical work myself. ![]()
