How can you convert the low voltage wiring of a lighted house number sign usually found in front of the garage to wiring for a regular light fixture?

Without seeing the actual installation, there are too many variables, so here's my best answer: -------------------------- The wiring would have to meet the following rules: 1) It has to be installed as specified in Article 300 (Wiring Methods) of the National Electrical Code. 2) It has to be in accordance with Article 310, Conductors for General Wiring. And: 3) The new fixture needs to be installed in accordance with Article 410. If it is a low-voltage sign, it may or may not have been installed to meet article 300, and it is likely not in accordance with article 310 as it would apply to wiring used at 120 volts. The reason for this is that low voltage lighting requirements are more lax than 'normal' lighting system requirements. Low voltage requirements are found in Article 411 of the NEC.

If there is to be a space between the sink and the mirror add that measurement in to factoring of the height.
Why do you use two switches to turn on a lamp instead of one switch?
When there's two switches connected to the same lamp it's usually because the lamp was meant to be able to be turned on and off from two different places. Useful in corridors and stairs and places like that. Or it can be that it originally was a fixture with more than one bulb in it. Two switches meant you could get different amounts of light out of the same fixture.

How do you find out what size pipe you should run for certain distances?
The plumbing code adopted by the jurisdiction in which the piping is placed will assign a "fixture unit" value to fixtures. For example, for waste and vent piping, a lavatory is usually one, a sink is usually two, a toilet usually between three and six, etc. A chart in the code book will tell how many "fixture units" can be installed on a particular size line. For example, a 2" line will usually carry 16 fixture units on a vertical pipe, 8 fixture units on a horizontal pipe, and will vent 24 fixture units. For a specific answer to your need you should consult a plumber working in your jurisdiction. And as far as "certain distances".....horizontal is self-limiting by grade, vertical is addressed by code, for example, 2" is limited to 85 feet vertical. Pressure pipe (water) is done much the same way....fixture unit values assigned to fixtures and then total fixture units allowed for each pipe size and pressure range.
