Wow, can you try to explain a bit better what you want to do? A receptacle at the end of what?

Do you have ANY experience doing electrical work? Do you have any books on residential electrical work?

I see you started a whole new thread for this. Maybe a mod can close the other one.


What you propose to do might sound easy but that is a very complicated way to wire it, and not something DIYer can typically grasp. Do you NEED to wire it this way?

A MUCH easier way would be to wire from the panel to a receptacle, then to the switch and on to the lights.
The way you want to do it would require 3-wire" between all the lights and switches. Unless you are an advanced DIYer with electrical I would NOT do it this way.
