Can you mix two hot wires and neutral in same shut-off switch?
Yes two "hot" wires and a neutral can enter into a switch box. This is done on occasions where a three wire enters a switch box, drops off one circuit for the lighting and the other "hot" wire carries on to feed a receptacle circuit.

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 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.
What are the different ways to wire a 3-way switch in a lighting circuit?
There are two common ways to wire a 3-way switch in a lighting circuit: the "California" method and the "conventional" method. In the California method, the hot wire is connected to the common terminal of one switch, while the travelers are connected to the other switch. In the conventional method, the hot wire is connected to the common terminal of one switch, and the travelers are connected to the other switch in a different configuration.
How do you do staircase wiring?
A two way switch is required for staircase wiring. A staircase switch will have two terminals. Connect the line wire with the center terminal. Connect the two ends of a wire with the top two terminals and two ends of a wire with the bottom two terminals. The line wire at the center terminal can now be connected with one terminal of the light bulb or light holder.
How to wire up a switch for a home lighting system?
To wire up a switch for a home lighting system, first turn off the power to the circuit. Connect the black wire from the power source to one terminal of the switch, and connect the black wire from the light fixture to the other terminal. Connect the white wires together and the ground wires together. Secure the switch in place and turn the power back on to test the connection.
How do you properly wire a two-way switch for a lighting circuit?
To properly wire a two-way switch for a lighting circuit, you need to connect the power source to the common terminal of one switch, then connect the light fixture to the common terminal of the other switch. The travelers from each switch should be connected to each other. This setup allows you to control the light from either switch.
How to wire a 3-way switch diagram for a lighting circuit?
To wire a 3-way switch diagram for a lighting circuit, you will need to connect the power source to the common terminal of the first switch, then connect the travelers to the other terminals of the first switch. Next, connect the travelers from the first switch to the corresponding terminals on the second switch. Finally, connect the light fixture to the common terminal of the second switch.
How can I wire a switch to control the lighting in a room effectively?
To wire a switch to control the lighting in a room effectively, you will need to first turn off the power to the circuit at the breaker box. Then, remove the existing switch and connect the wires to the new switch according to the manufacturer's instructions. Make sure to properly ground the switch and test it before turning the power back on.
Can you provide me with four way switch wiring diagrams for a complex lighting setup?
Here are four-way switch wiring diagrams for a complex lighting setup: Connect the power source to the first switch, then run a 3-wire cable to the second switch. Connect the second switch to the third switch using another 3-wire cable. Finally, connect the third switch to the light fixture using a 2-wire cable. Repeat this process for additional switches in the setup.
How to wire a 3-way switch for a lighting circuit?
To wire a 3-way switch for a lighting circuit, you will need to connect the power source to the common terminal of one switch, then connect the light fixture to the common terminal of the other switch. The two traveler terminals on each switch should be connected to each other. This setup allows you to control the light from two different switches.
How do I properly wire a Leviton 4-way switch in a multi-location lighting setup?
To properly wire a Leviton 4-way switch in a multi-location lighting setup, you will need to connect the traveler wires from each switch to the corresponding terminals on the switch. Make sure to follow the manufacturer's instructions and use a wiring diagram to ensure correct connections.
How do you properly wire a 4-way switch in a multi-location lighting setup?
To properly wire a 4-way switch in a multi-location lighting setup, you need to connect the traveler wires from each 3-way switch to the 4-way switch. The common wire from the power source should be connected to one terminal on the 4-way switch, and the common wire going to the light fixture should be connected to another terminal on the 4-way switch. Make sure to follow the wiring diagram for your specific setup to ensure proper installation.
What is the 4 wire 3-way switch diagram used for?
The 4 wire 3-way switch diagram is used for wiring a lighting circuit where two switches control one light fixture.
How can you disable one switch of a two way lighting switch?
To disable one switch of a two-way lighting switch, you can disconnect the wire connected to that switch from the electrical circuit and cap it off with a wire nut to ensure it is not energized. Be sure to turn off the power to the circuit before attempting any electrical work and consult a qualified electrician if needed.
