Impressive Adding A Light To Circuit Hooking Up Switch Diagram
At the existing light the hot and neutral wires are removed from the fixture terminals and spliced to the new cable wires running to the first new light. With the light switch turned off hold the noncontact voltage detector against each of the wires connected to the switch. If you want to add more lights after the second new one in this diagram they can be spliced into. This technique connects the fixtures in parallel which guarantees that each light will stay on if the other one burns out. There are various ways of extending a lighting circuit to add lighting points. This is the hot wire and the one you ll connect to the hot side of the new double switch. When you re adding a light to a circuit you use a technique called daisy chain wiring. Now turn off the power to the switch at the main electrical panel. Run a spur from an existing junction box or from a new junction box. If you re adding a separate single switch this is the wire you ll use to power both switches.
Or run a fused spur from a socket outlet.
Take note of which wire causes the tester to light up. Examples include adding lighting underneath kitchen wall cabinets where the existing switch will be at the exact height of the new lighting or installing an outside light by routing the cable directly through the back of an existing switch box to the outside. To do this you need to make pigtails in the wires to split the electrical path. At the first new light the wires are spliced to the new cable running to the next light and to a pigtail to connect the first new light. Run a spur from an existing junction box or from a new junction box. You could run a spur from the last ceiling rose in a loop in circuit.
At the first new light the wires are spliced to the new cable running to the next light and to a pigtail to connect the first new light. A pigtail is also added to the splice to allow for reconnecting the existing light back into the circuit. Run a spur from an existing junction box or from a new junction box.

When you re adding a light to a circuit you use a technique called daisy chain wiring. This is the hot wire and the one you ll connect to the hot side of the new double switch. There are various circumstances where it would be convenient to add another light to a circuit and connect that light directly to an existing light switch. If you re adding a separate single switch this is the wire you ll use to power both switches.
