∙ 14y agoNo, it is not recommended to mix 12-2 and 14-2 wires in the same circuit. This could create a potential fire hazard and is against electrical code. It is best to use matching wire sizes for consistency and safety in the electrical system.
To add another porch light to an existing switch, you can run a new electrical wire from the existing light fixture to the new porch light location. Connect the new wire to the new light fixture, ensuring all connections are secure and following proper electrical wiring guidelines. Test the new porch light to ensure it operates correctly from the existing switch.
Yes, you can connect a wall switch to an existing light fixture by running a new electrical wire from the switch to the fixture. This allows you to control the light fixture independently of the existing fixture. It is recommended to consult a licensed electrician to ensure proper wiring and installation for safety.
Yes, you can extend power through the 3-wire switch leg to a new switch for a new light. You would need to connect the hot wire to the common terminal on the existing switch, then extend the hot wire to the new switch, along with the traveler wire. At the new switch, connect the hot wire to the common terminal and the traveler wire to one of the traveler terminals.
To wire an additional light to another light with a switch, you would connect the hot wire from the existing light to the hot wire of the new light. Then connect the neutral wires together. Finally, connect the ground wires together. This creates a parallel circuit so both lights can be controlled by the switch.
To wire a light and switch using 2-wire Romex, connect the black wire to the brass screw on the switch, the white wire to the light fixture, and the white wire to the silver screw on the switch. Make sure to cap the unused wire at both ends for safety. Be sure to turn off the power before starting and consult a professional if you are unsure.

Add a light to switch from a different circuitI think here your concern is that you don't want change the performance of the circuit to which you add the light.so you have to use a relay or a solid state relay to the circuit and a separate power supply to the light in compliance with all the safety rules.

Yes, you can replace a traditional light switch with a toggle switch outlet. The process involves turning off the power supply, removing the existing switch, connecting the wires to the new toggle switch outlet according to the manufacturer's instructions, and properly securing the outlet in place. It's important to follow safety precautions and consult a professional electrician if needed.

Current flows through a wire when a light switch is turned on.
Two options. Change the fixture to a keyed pull-chain, or add a pull-chain adapter to the existing fixture. Both available from Home Depot and others for about $3.
To convert a single switch to control both a fan and a light, you will need to install a double switch. Make sure to turn off the power supply, remove the existing single switch, connect the wires to the new double switch (one wire for the fan and one for the light), and then install the new double switch into the electrical box. It's important to follow proper wiring techniques and consider hiring a professional if you are unsure.
you probably can't, you need a neutral and a live wire to make a fan work. switches normally only have live wires.
If you have one wire into your switch box for your light. this is called a switch leg, the dimmer should be wired across the black and white wire wires.
by a parellal current switch.
