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 an additional light to another light with a switch?
In the wall switch box you should have a white and black pair from your source of power (120 volts). The other pair of black and white wires from the wall box should be going to the light fixture junction box. With the power off, connect the two white wires together with a wire nut. Connect the two bare copper ground wires together making sure that at least one of the ground wires goes under the green screw in the switch junction box. Turn the switch to the off position, no little indicator bump showing on the switch toggle lever. Now take the black incoming hot wire and put it under the top screw on the switch. Hot wires always go to the top of switches. Now put the black wire that is going to the light fixture under the bottom screw. Tighten both. Install the switch into the wall box with the switch handle in the down position. All switches when installed must be off in the down position. Install the switch plate cover.
How to fit a new light switch to old wiring in the kitchen?
MAKE SURE FUSE IS REMOVED OR CIRCUIT BREAKER TRIPPED! This is quite simple. Unscrew and remove the template. Unscrew and PULL OUT the switch. As long as this NOT a 3-way switch, Unscrew, UNCURL, and remove wire wrapped around BOTH screws, then unscrew, uncurl and remove grounding screw (bare wire) and remove old light switch. Fully unscrew bolts on new switch until they stop. Strip both covered wires to reveal 1" of bare wire. Bend bare wires (all) to look like a hook. With completely bare grounding wire, wrap hooked end around the green screw with the wire end sticking out on the lower right side. Do this with the rest of the wires. Fully tighten all screws. Push excess wires back into outlet and firmly secure switch to outlet. Replace and secure template. Replace fuse/flip circuit breaker back on. Try switch. Light should respond WITHOUT FLICKERING. If light flickers, turn off power and check for loose connections on the switch. Resume power AFTER problem is solved. As always, if you are in doubt about what to do, the best advice anyone should give you is to call a licensed electrician to advise what work is needed. Before you do any work yourself,on electrical circuits, equipment or appliances,always use a test meter to ensure the circuit is, in fact, de-energized.IF YOU ARE NOT ALREADY SURE YOU CAN DO THIS JOBSAFELY AND COMPETENTLYREFER THIS WORK TO QUALIFIED PROFESSIONALS.
