Hi there, I'm currently trying to wire my bathroom. It has a light, night light, and a fan. It's getting interesting here, I have also a single light and a gfi outlet. They will all be on the same circuit, which has a 20 amp breaker. How should I wire this set up.

Where are you taking power to, outlet, light, switch box or fan/light/night light?

Ok power to switch box. Do you want to take power to the ceiling from the switch box or the outlet?

Power from the switch. I have 4 wire cable going to the ceiling.

OK, so you have a 4-wire cable to go from the switch to the fan/light/night light?

I don't understand that. A 4-wire cable is a piece of cable with 4 wires in it. Do you mean you have a switch with 4 terminals or 4 wires for connection?

OK, do you have any 4-wire cable? 4-wire cable will make the neatest installation but it may be a little inconvenient to find unless you go to an electric supply house.
