Electrical 101: How To Wire Multiple Lights On A Switch (Leg) 

I have a question. I'm trying to build a guitar side bender using 3 pony cleat sockets. Do you know of a video I could use to wire these three up?

Nice video again brother ! Keep up the good work !

U didn’t wire the lights? How do u attach lights like the title of this video suggest

Thank you for teaching and sharing. When you connect your ground wires I find it best to use a green wire nut which has a hole in the top that way you don't have to add a pigtail because your long wire simply sticks out saving saving a minute or two :-)

For someone doing this on their own not working for a company or meeting a code do you think it would be ok to cut the ground wires down to the end of the splice to have more room/ less excess

Perfect! This was very helpful

Great straight forward information ✊

Ok. Now, when we install the light fixture into that middle box, please show how to wire that. Thx !

So to wire the light in the middle… do you take the black wire from that light, the black from the switch, and the black from the end light, and twist them together in a wire nut? So 3 wires in one nut? Same with neutral?

So if you want to add a third or fourth light, you would just pigtail the second light to the third and from the third to the fourth light, and so on if you want more than 4 lights?

that was a great review. you are a great teacher. thank you!

Thanks for sharing ❣️❣️

would this process be the same for adding another light to a current 2-pole circuit? TY

Thank you very helpful and well explained

I was just trying to install 2 new vanity lamps in my bathroom in the existing electrical connections, one box have 4 wires and the other just 2 and only one switch, I attach together both black wires and I have 120 v in the second box, however when I attached together the 2 white wires my breaker jumped, for some reason in the second box the white wire is always grounded, I always have continuity between my ground and neutral cables…

Also I want to connect 6 recessed led lights to 1 switch..would I use the same method?

Is this a multi part series ??? I thought I was going to see a switch and lights get wired up.

I’m working in n a old house and I have two lights on a switch and the power is going into the light instead of the switch first I can’t figure out how to make that work but the home owner says it worked that way at one point in time

Instead of connecting the second light to the first like, could you have both light connect to the light switch so that the all steam from the switch?

Can you daisy chain another light to the second new light and so on?

I have the exact opposite, My switch controls a light in the shower and a vent fan in the bathroom, I need to remove the vent fan and make that hot and just keep the switch for the light, would I disconnect the wires from the light or the switch?

How do you add a 3rd light fixture? 3rd to 2nd or 3rd to 1st?

We need a food live stream tn

Wait so you could just pigtail with a wire nut? You don’t need the linesmen pliers?

Should I go a union or private companies as apprentice

Showing half the job does not help a DIY

good view

Can you explain what a pick tail is?

Hey quick question, how long was the process for you between submitting your application and starting your first paid day in ur apprenticeship? Also did u go the IBEW route?

So what if you can’t get to the light but can get to the switch? Can you wire it into the switch instead?

Don’t you need your line for the switch ? And obviously your switch leg?

For those whom are not electricians nor handy (I am both), you less than half way explained what you were doing and why. You did not explain why they're tied together and most importantly never showed why actually powers the multiple lights. In this case it was supposed to be a light switch that already is a power source and how you tied it into that. Where is the light receptacle? Where is the toggle switch?? You have to complete the process, bro.

U should get a GoPro on ur chest wen u do electrician work at work

I am more confused now than when I first came here 🤦‍♂️

I'm stealing power from a receptacle to feed 2 LED lights... I went from the receptacle up to the first light, then to the 2nd light, then to the switch... I think I figured it out... Can anyone confirm? Thanks POWER from receptacle to LIGHT, then to the SWITCH STEP 1 White wire from power to the white wire to the light... STEP 2 Black wire from switch to black wire to the light STEP 3 White wire from switch to black wire to receptacle power *** Tape white wire with black tape to indicate it's now a hot wire POWER from receptacle to LIGHT, to LIGHT, then to the SWITCH *** How do I add a second light next to the 1st light?

How about 4 light of one switch?

hi

WHAT???!!!!

Very confused teaching!!!

You never showed how to tie it into the actual light/device

Bro was doing good at the beginning then just got lazy and explained instead the process instead of showing the inexperienced

tldr

Bro…. You didn’t wire anything. This is a rough in

When are you going to show us how to hook up 2 lights like the title of your video says. This video is about hooking up two lights you didn't show how to hook up two lights you talked about wires and possibilities. A video about pig farming would be more helpful.

VERY INFORMATIVE Just a sugestion, You need to drop the "GUYS" there's one person watching from his/her device not a "GROUP" O N E! Just say YOU

That was way more confusing than it needed to be and you didn't even show what you said you were going to demonstrate. You didn't wire up anything. You just put wires in boxes and didn't explain what got tied to what or where they went on the fixtures. Sorry, but not good.

That seems to be a waste of my time. Don't know what you are talking about.

The worst demo ever

You explained absolutely nothing imho

wasted time you didn't hook anything up
