Have 3 lights Power to light 1 Need to connect light 2 then light 3 then down to single pole switch How do you wire?

You would wire the switch to the first light. Code says to break the black or power side of the circuit. Connect the white to the light. Take the black down to the switch on the black wire and back to the light on the white. This is a line of wire from the light to the switch. From the first light, take the white and the return white from the switch to the second with another run of wire. This will be regular black white with ground. White to white and at the first light the return line from the switch is white but hook to the black to the second light. Second light to third just continues the two wires. Black to black, white to white. I think this is clear enough to follow. If not, ask again.


How do you wire a 220 volts light?

The light is wired the same as any voltage fixture. Bring the source voltage to the fixture and connect it to the two fixture wires. If you want to control the off-on of the fixture take the source voltage to a switch first and then out of the switch to the light fixture.


Why does a wall switch 'crackle' and the light flicker?

There is a high current draw on the circuit and the switch is getting old. Change out the switch, see if you can find a 20 amp switch as the internal contacts are designed to take the higher amperage. Check how many lamps are in the circuit in watts, add them together and use the formula for amps. Amps = Watts/Volts (120).
