I have a carport light (Power Source), a shed with existing light and receptacle controlled by it's own switches, and a new bug light that I'm trying to install all connecting inside a switch box that is to control the new bug light only. So 3 sets of wires in this switch box. The shed should have power at all times and only the new bug light is to be controlled by the switch. How do I wire these 3 sets of wires (black, white, ground)

Your help will be greatly appreciated

Thanks

This is assuming of course that white is neutral and black is hot as it should be. Be sure that is the case before you do it. And be sure the breaker is off before you do it, as in turn off the breaker and then check for power before proceeding.

Inside the switch box,
1. All of your grounds should be connected together.(be sure to ground the switch and the box if it is metal)
2. All of your white wires should be connected together.
3. Then you would locate the black wire going to the bug lite and connect it to one side of the switch.
4. The rest of the black wires should be connected together and also to the other side of the switch.

There are other considerations when adding to a circuit, I don't really have time to go into it right now so I simply answered the question you asked. It should be functional and work as long as you aren't overloading the circuit, but please, if you have ANY doubt about what you are doing then call an electrician. It's worth the money to keep your house from burning down or someone getting hurt or worse.
