    Switch, two lights, outlet
    I would like to wire from the power source to a switch, then two lights and then a outlet at the end of circuit. The outlet would be hot all the time. Where can I find a diagram or can any one tell me how to wire this setup? This would be a new, easy to get to circuit, so the power source can start anywhere, its just that the switch is closer to the box.
    Thanks

    If you insist on the outlet being at the end of the line you will have use 3-wire cable from the switch to the lights and 2-wire cable from the last light to the outlet.

    Re-think it and then give more detail on what you would like to do.

    Thanks, what would be the easyest way to do it, that is the way I would like. Using three wire though is not a problem.
