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 do you control a lamp from three different positions?
we use 2-3way switch and 1-4way switch
Im adding a new ceiling fan in my living room i pulled the old fixture down i noticed 2 sets of 3 wire BWR and 1 set 2 wire BW BW going to the wall switch how should you wire in the fan?
White is for neutral on the fan, black is power for the motor, and red is power for the light. If the power from the switch only has two wires (black and white), you would hook up white to white and hook black and red from the fan to the black wire from the wall switch. This means that you'll be powering the fan and light on the same switch and to change the fan and light separately you will have to pull on the chains or use a remote control.
How do you hook up a live wire into two switches?
First turn off the power. You can do it a couple of ways. Take your black hot wire and connect two black pigtail wires of the correct gauge to the wire via a wirenut. Then connect each of the two pigtails to each switch. Another way if the supply wire is long enough you can strip about 1/2 inch off about 4 inches from the end. Make a "U-shaped" bend in the stripped area and put that around one switch and strip the end and connect to the other switch.
What are the electrical codes covering - wiring a new garage?
Depends on what you are asking about. I can tell you that all garage outlets must be protected by a GFCI circuit. You can install as many or as little as you want as long as there is at least 1 outlet on each wall. Any freezer or refrigerator must be on a dedicated circuit. There must be a light switch by the doorway mounted 48" to the top of the switch box. If you have 2 entrances into the garage then install a 3 way light switch so the lights can be turned on/off at both locations. Outlets cannot me mounted higher than 48" above the floor. I would install the outlets on 1 circuit and the lights on another circuit unless you only have a couple of lights. Use AWG #12 wire for the garage protected by a 20 amp breaker. If the garage is detached from the house then you need a disconnect in the garage. Any 240 volt outlet must be on a dedicated circuit protected by the proper breaker and correct size wire needed for the device.
How can I wire 2 lights to 1 switch when the power source is at one of the lights?
To wire 2 lights to 1 switch when the power source is at one of the lights, you will need to connect the power source to the first light, then run a wire from the first light to the second light, and finally connect both lights to the switch. This setup will allow you to control both lights with a single switch.

Hook fused wire to possitive cable and connect back to battery. 8. test lights!!!
How can 2 lights be controlled by 2 switches using only 1 power source?
This can be achieved by using a three-way switch setup. The power source is connected to one switch, and then wires are run from that switch to the second switch and to the lights. This way, both switches can control the lights independently while using only one power source.
How do you wire a cable with a black wire a brown wire grey wire and earth wire to a light switch in my car which has 3 holes 1 for single switch and 1 for a doubleswitch?
Connect the black wire to the single switch hole, the brown wire to one of the holes on the double switch, and the gray wire to the other hole on the double switch. The earth wire should be connected to the grounding point on the light switch. Make sure to follow proper safety procedures and consult a professional if you are unsure.
Plymount Grand Voyager 98 all lights flicker on an off automatically even when engine ignition is off Mechanic could not find anything wrong What could be the problem?
What do you mean by all lights, all lights as in dash, headlights, parking lights and such... could be a bad light switch, or relay or a burnt wire. I have a 90 Caravan, did basically the same thing, the wiring to it was over heating and it was causing the breaker in the switch to kick off till it cools down then kick back on... I then replaced switch and dimmer switch... still did it, so then I went investigating and found out that it was cause of 1 burnt wire that was good enough to cause contact but it over heated quickly, kicking the lights off, then when it cooled they came back on... It might be something simple or as a burnt wire or the switch itself... checking for a burnt wire is easiler and cheaper then replacing the switch... Hope I helped. Good Luck
How do you pile photon cannons on top of each other in Starcraft?
Hot key a probe (control, 1) then if there is a light switch turn the lights off. There has to be a light switch for stacking. After the lights are off press 1. This will select your probe. Then you can make cannons and other buildings on top of each other.
How do you pull 1 of 6 lights off a 3-way switch and add a single switch for that 1 fixture?
To add a single switch for one of the lights of a 3-way switch system, you would need to reconfigure the wiring. Locate the wire that connects the light you want to control separately and reroute it to a new single switch location. You may need to install a new electrical box and run new wiring to connect the light to the new single switch. Consulting a licensed electrician is recommended for safety and code compliance.
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.
