Easiest Way To Wire a Light Switch and GFCI Outlet In the Same Box 

didn't discuss the difference between load and line and told people about using the bronze or silver colored screws but didn't say whether they went to the load or line side

You, Sir, Saved our backsides on this video. We wanted to add a plug next to the light switch in our small bathroom connected to our bedroom. Basically we had to run new wire in the ceiling down to the switch. I initially thought I was wiring it correctly but stopped myself when I suspected something wasn't right. I consulted the Google machine and came across your video. My wife and I watched intensely. Then we watched it again. Then I went to Home Depot and got a bag of 100 Quick Connects. Then we watched your video again as we were doing the wiring, following every step. We were ecstatic when we flipped the breaker and everything worked properly. Thank you so much for wonderfully clear instructions on how to do it properly. Wife and I are very happy.

I use wago connectors but I've never used a single phase light switch. You just saved my bacon because I could not wrap my brain around what wire to jump where. Thank you!

Thanks a lot for THIS AWESOME VIDEO it was very helpful BECAUSE I INSTALLED POWER TO MY SHE SHED TODAY AND WAS UNSURE HOW TO DO THE LIGHT SWITCH FROM THE GFIC AND THANKS TO YOU IT WORKS PERFECTLY YOU JUST SAVED ME LIKE A-LOT OF MONEY REALLY APPRECIATE IT

He is giddy like a school boy

Forgot about to explain about the line and the load connections on the back of the GFCI.

Thank you so much for this video and for your sweet voice during the explanation. I love this method. It looks clean.❤❤❤

Thank you for the tutorial. I love those connectors. Went and bought a bunch of them to have on hand.

You didn't explain the load vs line side which is critical in a GFCI installation.

This is pretty much the same as hooking a GFI to a motion sensor for like a bathroom light right.

I have no idea how this was recommended to me

The Electrical Code *requires* that luminaries *must* be on a separate circuit from a GFCI outlet. This does video not follow the electrical code.

Nice video lol I wired one then I forgot how for the next one a day later good tips I enjoy wireing I wire trailers for my 9 to 5 so I'm confident

Just your information was right

Trying to add a light fromThe outlet but the outlet has both neutral & hot terminals already are used. I believe one is going to the ceiling fan. Is it possible to add another light to the same outlet by pigtailing all three wires(hot,fan,light) & connecting to just one terminal?..doing same to neutrals. thank you.

what about if you have white, black and red wire?

Great video...thanks

that sucker came out good 😁

In new work yes, in old work no. When retrofitting consider a switch/GFI outlet combo device. That way you're not tearing into the drywall and adding the double box.

Looks fun with those long ass wires an wire locks I used wire nuts an the damn wires were short ugghh

Then the light switch is not protected is that right? Only the outlet will be.

I need to know how to install a GFCI switch combo when there are EIGHT wires coming out of the wall.

I subscribed , good job man

Why not have a jumper from the hot Load of the gfci to the switch? Then you'd only need a wire connector for the grounds and the switch and lights will be gfci protected. Wouldn't that be a valid option?

Load or line

If the switch next to the GFCI outlet were a smart switch that requires a neutral wire, how will you wire it?

with this configuration does the switch only operate the light load and the outlet stays on continuously?

I got the lights on but nothing on the outlets??

I noticed you didn't need to use the load terminals on the gfi, but if I had another wire from a double receptacle box comming into that box would I connect that cable on the load side to run the 2 receptacles and protect them also. Would that work? Like in my kitchen on the other side of my sink.

😂😂😂 ... nice work, did you eat some special brownies before you did your commentary ... lol ;))

Simple as that. 👍

Backstabbing is dangerous

🌹😂

The only problem here is that switch and any lights on it are NOT GFCI protected.

Do not do this! First off, do not use needle nose to connect wires to push-in connectors. Second, dont use a hammer drill on devices. Also, you don't get GFCI protection to devices downstream unless you feed it from the Load side of the GFCI. Last, but most certainly not least, never take electrical advice from a kid that can't stop gigglin during an instructional video!

Push connects are stupid what a mess

Don't follow any of his advice. He is a giggling joke.

you are laughing about way too much. I think you've been shocked too many times. Not sure I trust this vid. Ill move on
