A question for the electrically inclined...
I recently swapped out my old, very dated porch lights for some nice, new stainless steel models. After that, I took out the old fluorescent fixture above my sink and installed a new, LED fixture. I'm now wanting to install another LED fixture on the wall above my stove where a nasty range hood once hung. I wanted to take this installation a step further, however, and put in a wall switch for the light as well as an outlet to plug my electric kettle into for tea. I know, too much preamble. LOL!
For those of you who are "in the know" about electrical connections, I need some wiring advice. I know, or at least I'm pretty sure, that I would need to place the switch on the circuit first since it will be the "ON/OFF" for the light. My question is how can I make the three way connection so that the light, it's switch and the outlet (I'm using a GFCI outlet) are all on the same circuit? I've looked at a few diagrams and I kind of have an idea of how to do it, but I figure I'd ask someone who's actually done it. Any helpful advice or input would be greatly appreciated.
