If so, you are basically seeing 0 volts the voltmeter is picking up stray static or induced voltage, not that from the breaker panel. If you are using the spiral fluorescent bulbs which do not get as hot as an incandescent bulb you can go a little higher in the wattage usage but there is no need because you get much more light candle power from the fluorescent bulbs. Do the wires enter the ceiling box via a conduit pipe or just stick into it?
The Conserve Switch AV Surge Protector with Remote lets you shut off power—including standby power—to all your entertainment electronics with one touch of the con remote switch. Connect the green ground wire to the green screw. You'll see white wires at one side of the switch and black wires attached at the other side. Google YouTube Some articles have YouTube videos embedded in them. Knowing which wires to connect together eliminates the confusion when you complete the installation. If the box was attached to a metal hanger bar, cut the bar in half using a close-quarter hacksaw. How should this be properly wired. As the receptacle has a ground socket it becomes even more important to note that ground; anyone using the receptacle will assume the ground is there. The sharp edge of the knockout hole can slice into the wires and short them out.
I played with the switch and found that it was intermittent! Turn off the power to your existing ceiling fan. Plastic boxes have the volume stamped inside. To do this, first thread the screws or pipe through the crossbar.
How to Wire a Fan & Light With Black, White & Blue Wires - Now is a good time to check for voltage with a if one is available, before proceeding with the removal. I played with the switch and found that it was intermittent!
I am remodeling my basement, currently I have 5 light fixtures and each one has its own switch. I would like to make it so when I turn on the switch at the bottom of the stairs all the lights turn on. I would also like to add several more light fixtures. I am new to electrical work. I have a solid background with framing and drywall. The basement is not finished so I have great access to all ceiling joints and current fixtures. I have been reading online about 2 wire nm. I am curious though how you run wire to one fixture, hook it up, and then run the wire to the next fixture. Basically, you want to start with a switch. You run a black and white wire in from the bottom of the switch box from the panel. You connect the black wire to the switch. You connect the 2 white wires together, and then connect the other terminal on the switch to the black wire of the cable leaving this junction box towards the first light. The ground wire should also be connected together in this manner, but to the ground terminal on the switch. At each light you'll connect the entering and exiting black wires together, as well as 1 terminal on the light. Do the same with the white wires. If there is a ground terminal on the light, do that as well, otherwise just connect the incoming and outgoing ground wires together. At the last light, just connect the incoming black wire to 1 terminal on the light, and then connect the white wire to the other one. This method is called wiring in parallel, so if one light blows, the current can still continue to the other lights to light them up. Some other things to be aware of: Most home wiring is either 12 or 14 gauge, corresponding to either a 20 amp or a 15 amp circuit, respectively. Let's say you're using a 20 amp breaker with 12 gauge wire. This circuit should run at no more than 16 amps. Let's assume you're using 100 watt bulbs at 120 volts. So this would work fine on a 15 amp breaker, depending on what else is on that circuit. Something like this is what you're looking for the end result to be: How do you determine how many lights you can connect to a single circuit? How do you determine which size wire to use? Which way do you wrap the wire around the screw terminals? Do you have to connect the ground wire to the junction boxes, and if so how do you do that? How do you secure the cable between and at boxes? How much wire should be exposed inside the junction box? How do you protect the cable from physical damage? Aaron's answer isn't bad, but Tester101 has a point, which is that you need a competent electrician watching you, correcting any mistakes you might make. You should probably take a course on residential wiring to get your feet wet, and then you'll have a much better understanding of how it works and learn some of the do's and don'ts. Electrical work can be unforgiving. Just added 4 ceiling fixtures to my basement and successfully connected them to a single switch, which I had to relocate as the old one was behind the door really. Simple once you understand how the connection should be made, which is why this is a great reference. As for the comment above: I agree that simple things like these can be done safely with someone with half a brain. After all it is my house and can't afford having an electrician come over to do something I can do myself and leaving me with a huge bill. However the concern I h — user51103 Mar 6 '16 at 19:30 Instead of needing to do electrical work there are power strips that have a wireless remote controls.

Electricians went through much training and OJT in order to become licensed. But like anyone in a trade that took much training, we often feel self inflated and feel that no one else can or should do our work unless they go through the same. But the bottom line is, if its your home electrify away and don't worry about possessive electricians. Just do it safely in order to protect yourself, family, others and property. Save yourself much money if your state allows you to do it on your own.
