Answer for USA, Canada and countries running a 60 Hz supply service.
The ballasts have to be connected in parallel with each other. Bring a "hot" circuit wire from the distribution panel breaker to the junction box that is going to hold the switch. This connection will be for 120 volt ballasts but will be the same for any "hot" to neutral voltages.
Connect the "hot" wire to the top screw in the switch.
Run a two conductor cable to the first fixture junction box.
Connect the black wire of this cable to the bottom screw of the switch.
Wire nut the two white wires together and push them to the back of the switch's junction box.
Connect the ground wire around the ground screw in the back of the box and wire nut the two ground wires together.
From the first fixture junction box to as many junction boxes there are, for how many fixture ballasts you want to connect together, install a two wire cable between them. From the first box to the last fixture box, the connections will be black to black and white to white. This also includes the ballast black and white wires.
Connect the ground wires in all fixture boxes as instructed to do in the first switch box.
Pigtail a two foot piece of insulated green wire on the ground wire, in the fixture's junction box, where the two grounds splice together. This is to ground the fixture when it is installed.
Install the switch in the switch box and install the cover plate.
Turn on the breaker to energize the system.
All of the fixtures will operate when the switch is flipped on.
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.

What else can I help you with?
How do you wire in a pull chain switch in a bathroom light fixture?
If you are adding the pull chain to an existing fixture then the pull chain switch should have two wires. Wire nut either one to the hot wire coming in and the other to the black wire of the fixture.
How can you wire a 3 wire attic fan to a 2 wire thermostat?
If your thermostat is designed to switch the fan on and off at say 120 volts, then it acts just like a switch. This means that you insert the two wires from the thermostat in series with the black wire going to the fan. So let's say you have a supply of power for fan that has black, white and bare wire ground. You connect the white to white on fan and ground to ground. You then connect one wire of the thermostat switch to supply black and one to fan black wire. If you are unsure of the type of thermostat or anything else get an electrician. This is just one possible solution given the information provided.
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 wire a compressor switch?
Take a wire from one of the line terminals L1 to one side of the contactor coil. Take another wire from the second line terminal L2 and put it to one side of a N.C. contact on the overload block. From the other side of the N.C. contact on the O/L block take a wire to the N.C. terminal on the pressure switch. From the other side of the N.C. contact on the pressure switch terminal connect the wire to the other side of the coil. This configuration will be using the same coil voltage on the contactor as that of the supply voltage.
Can a three way switch be changed to a single pole switch with a plate over one of the switch locations?
Yes, If you only hook up two wire it will work as a single pole
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.
Can I wire two ballasts together and use one power cable Do both ballasts have to be earthed if they are connected?
Yes, the two ballasts can be supplied with one power source. The two ballasts will be paralleled together. This means supply black (hot) to black on ballast one and black on ballast number two. Tie all three under a single wire nut. Connect the neutral conductors all together under one wire nut. Both ballasts should be tied to the ground wire that is in the supply cable. All of these connections must be made in an approved junction box.
How can I wire multiple lights to one switch in a single circuit?
To wire multiple lights to one switch in a single circuit, you can connect the lights in parallel by running a separate wire from the switch to each light. This allows the switch to control all the lights at once. Make sure to follow proper wiring guidelines and consult an electrician if needed.
How can I wire multiple lights to one switch efficiently and safely?
To wire multiple lights to one switch efficiently and safely, you can connect the lights in parallel using a junction box. Run a cable from the switch to the first light, then connect additional cables from that light to the others. Make sure to use the appropriate gauge wire for the load and follow all electrical codes and safety precautions.
What is a component switch used for?
A component switch is used with electronics and wiring. You can wire electronics to turn on using a switch with multiple linked to one. A component switch is the overall central one that they all link to and function off of.
How do you connect multiple lights to one switch starting at the light?
To connect multiple lights to one switch starting at the light, you will need to run a cable from the first light fixture to the switch. Connect the hot wire to the switch, along with a pigtail wire to connect to each light. Then connect each light fixture to the pigtail wire to create a parallel circuit. Make sure to follow proper safety precautions and consult a professional if needed.
What is the 3 way wire diagram for connecting multiple light switches in a circuit?
A 3-way wire diagram for connecting multiple light switches in a circuit shows how to wire three switches to control a single light fixture. Each switch has three terminals: one common terminal and two traveler terminals. The common terminal on one switch is connected to the hot wire, while the common terminals on the other two switches are connected to the light fixture. The traveler terminals on each switch are connected to each other to allow for control of the light from multiple locations.
Can you wire a four way switch with two pairs of two wire?
No, a four-way switch requires three or more switches to control a single light fixture from multiple locations. Each switch in the circuit needs to have three wires - one hot wire, one traveler wire going to the next switch, and one traveler wire coming from the previous switch. Using two pairs of two-wire cables will not provide the necessary connections for a four-way switch setup.
How do you wire 4-way switches in a circuit?
To wire 4-way switches in a circuit, you connect the traveler wires from each switch to the corresponding terminals on the switches. The common terminal on one switch is connected to the hot wire, while the common terminal on the other switch is connected to the light fixture. This setup allows you to control the light from multiple locations.
How do you wire multiple lights on a 3-way switch with one between and one not?
Explain in more detail what you mean. What is between: the switch or the light? What are you trying to accomplish with this setup? The term 3-way switch means 2 switches controlling one or more lights. If you have 2 lights and one switch then you need a standard 75 cent switch. Generally with 3-way switches, there are 3 wires not including the ground, black, white and red. some houses attach the white to the switch, some attach the black. Generally the white will feed through the box not attaching to anything but another white wire. The black will attach to the upper and lower screws on one side of the switch while the red attaches to the opposite side. The red goes to the other switch and black goes to the light fixture(s).
How to wire 2 lights to one switch?
To wire two lights to one switch, you will need to connect the power source to the switch, then run a wire from the switch to the first light, and another wire from the first light to the second light. Make sure to follow proper safety precautions and consult a professional if needed.
