I installed 2 recessed lights and connected them to a outlet close to where they placed. I also put a switch between the outlet and lights. When I turn the breaker on the lights come on so I thought the switch was on, when I went to turn the switch off it blows the breaker.

I'm sorry.

Did you have a question?
If so maybe you can describe a little clearer how you wired this setup.

U said "put a switch between the outlet and lights." How did u wire this?

Is switch in an electrical box?

How many wires in box?

Need this info for a start to help u.
