How do you hook up one light to one switch in a basement lighting system that has all 10 lights connected to one switch?

If you have good access to the wiring this is relatively easy to do. Each of the 10 lights is connected to another in parallel in a "daisy chain" fashion. Light 1 is connected to the switch, light 2 is connected to light 1, light 3 is connected to light 2 and so forth. Let's say it is light 5 that you wish to switch separately. You can first install the new switch by either adding a new box or modifying old switch box. There are two gang switches that will fit the form factor of a single switch. TURN OFF THE POWER TO SWITCH BOX. Using the same supply input at original switch, add a new black wire to the wire nut for input to original switch and connect this to the input of new switch. Then run a new wire to light 5 and connect black wire to the output of new switch. Connect all the white wires together in switch box and separately connect all bare wires together in switch box. Now at light 5 undo the black and white wire coming from the fixture, and reconnect the wire nuts so that there is a direct connection between light 4 and light 6. Do the same for the ground if present (bare wire). You now have the fixture wires hanging free. Now connect the black wire from new switch to the fixture black wire and white to white and you are done.


How can you connect electric to food disposal having the wire under the sink without switch?

You must have a switch to turn the disposal on and off. If you are asking how to connect because you do not have a switch. Install the switch under the sink just above the door opening. You can buy disposals that turn on and off when you place the lid over the hole. InSinkerator makes one.

How do you hook up a light and switch from an existing light?

Add a light to switch from a different circuitI think here your concern is that you don't want change the performance of the circuit to which you add the light.so you have to use a relay or a solid state relay to the circuit and a separate power supply to the light in compliance with all the safety rules.

How to wire multiple lights to one switch?

To wire multiple lights to one switch, you can connect the lights in parallel by running a cable from the switch to each light fixture. Make sure to connect the hot wire from the switch to the hot wire of each light, and the neutral wire from the switch to the neutral wire of each light. This will allow you to control all the lights with a single switch.


What is the purpose of the red wire in a light switch?
