    You will have to say that again.

    You said you have a split wire receptacle. Does that mean you have split receptacles on two circuits sharing a neutral or does that just mean you have a split receptacle, one half constantly hot and the other half controlled by a switch?

    using one switch to control receptacle and pigtailing from switch to receptacle to another switch going to two lights.

    What does that mean? Does that mean you want to come from a receptacle to a switch box with two switches and use one switch for lights and the other for switching a receptacle (not the receptacle you took power from)?

    Or

    Does that mean you want to take power from a receptacle box, go to a switch box, use one switch to control lights and the other to control the receptacle in the box you took power from?

    Tell what you have and what you want.

    Got one circuit running power to split wire receptacle then running wires from that to a switch. Going to keep top half of receptacle hot bottom half to turn on and off with switch. Well I got a 2 gang box having 2 switches in it. I want to connect the receptacle switch to the other switch in gang box and use that switch for 2 lights. I am not quiet sure how to pigtail the two switches together

    Power---------------receptacle----------------switch1 switch2 ------------light-----------light

    Hopefully I worded it correctly this time
