Hi there, I know coming off a receptacle to the switch I pigtail the white and attach the black (hot) to the switch. Then run the white and black to the light. My question is how do I add a second light?
Thank You

You can add a second light a couple of different ways;

Option # 1 - Run the wire for your second light, to your first light and connect the white wires together, and the black wires together, and Presto you now have two lights.

Option # 2 - Run the wire for your second light to your switch box and splice the white with the white wires, and make a pigtail with the two black wires that go to your two lights, and connect it to one side of your switch.

Let me know how you make out.

Hi, GI John!

Greetings and WELCOME to the site! I just moved your question that you had posted in Introductions to this topic area so that it would get the most exposure to those who are best able to answer it. Introductions is for people to introduce themselves and we try to not ask questions there.

I do see that you have already received one, helpful answer to your question.

We would appreciate it if you would return to Introductions sometime to tell us a little about yourself though, if you would be willing to do that.

Thanks!
