Supreme Adding Outdoor Light To Existing Circuit Lutron Dimmer 3 Way Switch Installation
Adding A Hot Receptacle To A 3 Way Switch Circuit Three Way Switch Light Switch Wiring Switch
Feed the new circuit cable through the knockout hole and secure the cable with a cable clamp. There will be connections with pigtails in the light box. Apply a thick bead of silicone caulk or exterior sealant along the perimeter on the back side of the box. Make sure the cable you use is the same gauge as the one powering the existing fixture. Add the 2 new neutrals to the existing neutral bundle add the 2 new hot wires to the red bundle red from switch with pigtail to light should be what is there currently. Remove one of the knockouts on the back of the outdoor electrical box. Adding a light to a circuit an end of run fixture is one that goes after the existing fixture in the circuit. Add the additional proposed load of the new light fixtures to the existing load and determine the load percentage. Repeat the connection for the black wire from the junction box and the black wire from the fixture. At the existing light the hot and neutral wires are removed from the fixture terminals and spliced to the new cable wires running to the first new light.
To calculate the percentage of circuit load take the total load and divide by the circuit rating.
Make sure the cable you use is the same gauge as the one powering the existing fixture. Turn on all the light fixtures that are on this circuit. Choose a place for the fixture install an electrical box and run a cable between the new fixture and the existing one. Assemble your new light fixture following the manufacturer s directions. There will be connections with pigtails in the light box. There is a single switch operating a ceiling light in the garage would it be ok to change the single switch to a double switch to connect the outside light or is there a better way of doing that.
Add the additional proposed load of the new light fixtures to the existing load and determine the load percentage. Feed the new circuit cable through the knockout hole and secure the cable with a cable clamp. Finish the connection to the circuit by connecting the bare copper wire from the junction box to the green wire from the fixture with another orange wire connector. Connect the white wire from the light fixture to the white wire from the new ceiling junction box by twisting an orange wire connector to both wires. Assemble your new light fixture following the manufacturer s directions. Add the 2 new neutrals to the existing neutral bundle add the 2 new hot wires to the red bundle red from switch with pigtail to light should be what is there currently. If desired more lights can be added after that by running new cable to each new light box. Mount the box to the wall with exterior screws. Apply a thick bead of silicone caulk or exterior sealant along the perimeter on the back side of the box.

Repeat the connection for the black wire from the junction box and the black wire from the fixture. To calculate the percentage of circuit load take the total load and divide by the circuit rating. Measure the existing load of the circuit using a clamp on amperage meter. Apply a thick bead of silicone caulk or exterior sealant along the perimeter on the back side of the box. Make sure the cable you use is the same gauge as the one powering the existing fixture.
Remove one of the knockouts on the back of the outdoor electrical box. Add the additional proposed load of the new light fixtures to the existing load and determine the load percentage. Repeat the connection for the black wire from the junction box and the black wire from the fixture. 10 amps load 15 amp circuit rating a 66 load. A pigtail is also added to the splice to allow for reconnecting the existing light back into the circuit. Mount the box to the wall with exterior screws. Feed the new circuit cable through the knockout hole and secure the cable with a cable clamp. To calculate the percentage of circuit load take the total load and divide by the circuit rating.

Add the additional proposed load of the new light fixtures to the existing load and determine the load percentage. At the first new light the wires are spliced to the new cable running to the next light and to a pigtail to connect the first new light. Hi i simply want to add an outside light to an existing circuit in the garage. Turn on all the light fixtures that are on this circuit. Repeat the connection for the black wire from the junction box and the black wire from the fixture. There will be connections with pigtails in the light box.
