    Wiring a lamp
    I am trying to wire a box made of children's block with several spaces between the blocks with a solid base and a hinged top with security hasp which can be locked. I plan to install a lamp stem and socket to the top and a small socket inside for a night light. I need to know how to install a switch which will (1) light the lamp socket only
    (2)turn off the lamp socket and turn on the night light (3) turn off both. I did this successfully (about 10 years ago) and can't remember either the correct supplies or the wiring sequence.

    It is the switch, rotary, and will do light 1, light 2, both, and off.
    Will see if I can find 1.
