										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Convert a Pull-Chain Fixture</p>
<p> If you have a pull chain fixture with no light switch and wish to convert it to a switched fixture, <b>GoConex</b> is your solution. &#8230; Disconnect the old fixture, install the controller in the junction box, connect the wires to the new fixture, and install the wireless switch anywhere on the wall.</p>
<p>similarly, Are pull chain lights legal?</p>
<p>As Joel Owens posted, the <b>pull chain is permissible as long as there is a wall switch that controls the overall power to the fixture</b>.</p>
<p>on the other hand, How do I add a second light switch without wiring?</p>
<p><b>  How to Add a Second Light Switch Without Wiring </b> </p>
<ol>
<li>   Unscrew the wall plate.  </li>
<li>   Unscrew the existing switch.  </li>
<li>   Mark the wires before you remove them.  </li>
<li>   Disconnect the wires from the current switch.  </li>
<li>   Connect wires to the corresponding parts of the Lutron switch.  </li>
</ol>
<p>also, Are lights allowed in closets? Switch-controlled light and outlet is &#8220;best practice&#8221; for walk-in closets. Distances between fixtures and storage items: For surface-mounted incandescent or LED light fixtures, there must be a minimum distance of 12 inches between the fixture and any items stored in the closet. <b>No bare bulbs allowed</b>.</p>
<p>How many lights should be in a closet?</p>
<p>How much light will I need? In a small closet–one in which you can touch all walls standing in the middle–you&#8217;ll need the equivalent of <b>150 watts</b> or 2,000 lumens of light. (You can use multiple bulbs and fixtures to add up to this amount.) As the closet gets bigger, multiply the wattage accordingly.</p>
<h2><strong>Can you put recessed lighting in a closet?</strong></h2>
<p>Recessed LED or incandescent lighting fixtures must be installed at least six inches from clothing/storage areas. Incandescent fixtures with open or partially enclosed lamps and pendant fixtures or lamp holders are <b>not permitted in clothes closets</b>.</p>
<h2><strong>Can I run 2 lights from one switch?</strong></h2>
<p>You can do this light switch wiring in one of two ways. The most common is to daisy-chain the light fixtures by connecting them to each other and hooking the first one up to the switch. The other way to wire multiple lights to one switch is <b>to connect all of them directly to the switch in a</b> &#8220;home run&#8221; configuration.</p>
<h2><strong>Can one switch control 2 lights?</strong></h2>
<p>Two separate circuits are controlled by one switch. This is typically used to control a circuit from multiple locations in a series of three switches on one circuit. <b>A double pole switch</b> can be used to control light and a fan or 2 lights on separate circuits.</p>
<h2><strong>Can you tap into a light switch for power?</strong></h2>
<p>If you need to provide power to an outlet or another switch, you can tap into either the <b>live wire from the panel on</b> the existing wall switch, or the switched wire, should you desire that the new element be controlled by the switch. Locate the circuit breaker that controls the switch and turn it off.</p>
<h2><strong>What type of lighting is best for closets?</strong></h2>
<p><b>Fluorescent</b>. <b>LED and fluorescent bulbs</b> are both popular choices for closet lighting because they provide better energy efficiency than their traditional incandescent counterpart.</p>
<h2><strong>What size recessed light for closet?</strong></h2>
<p>A recessed fixture with an incandescent or LED bulb must be <b>at least 6 inches</b> from all closet storage areas. Surface-mounted fixtures with incandescent or LED bulbs must be at least 12 inches from storage areas. Surface-mounted fixtures with compact fluorescent (CFL) bulbs must be at least 6 inches from storage areas.</p>
<h2><strong>Where should you put lights in a closet?</strong></h2>
<p>According to Article 410.16 of the 2008 NEC, recessed and surface-mounted fluorescent fixtures and recessed incandescent and LED fixtures with a completely enclosed <b>light</b> source <b>can</b> be placed within 6 inches of the clothes storage area.</p>
<h2><strong>Where should closet lights be placed?</strong></h2>
<p>Put lights <b>on the bottom of the closet</b> for your shoes.</p>
<p> The underside of the shelf is equipped with an LED strip lighting system to light up the bottom area of the closet used for shoe storage. Don&#8217;t forget about the bottom of the closet!</p>
<h2><strong>What is the best lighting for a closet?</strong></h2>
<p><b>  11 Best Closet Lighting Ideas to Illuminate Your Wardrobe </b> </p>
<ul>
<li>   Illuminate the Base of the Closet. &#8230;  </li>
<li>   Install Track Lighting or Light Bars. &#8230;  </li>
<li>   Try LED Strip Lights. &#8230;  </li>
<li>   Make a Statement with a Chandelier or Pendant Light. &#8230;  </li>
<li>   String Up Twinkly Lights for a Whimsical Feel. &#8230;  </li>
<li>   Place a Candle in Your Closet. &#8230;  </li>
<li>   Let In Natural Light.  </li>
</ul>
<h2><strong>How many lights can I put on one switch?</strong></h2>
<p>The basics of light switch wiring</p>
<p> <b>There is no limit to the number of lights on a circuit</b>. The load of the fixtures is what determines how many lights a circuit can accommodate. A conventional 15A circuit can have up to 1400W of lighting loads connected to it.</p>
<h2><strong>How do you separate lights on the same switch?</strong></h2>
<p><b>  2 Answers </b> </p>
<ol>
<li>   Get a 2-gang box to replace your existing 1-gang box.  </li>
<li>   Get a new switch.  </li>
<li>   Remove your existing box and install the 2-gang box in its place.  </li>
<li>   Run your supply hot wire to both switches.  </li>
<li>   Connect the light/fan hot wire to one switch and the exterior light to the other.  </li>
<li>   Join all neutrals and ground wires.  </li>
</ol>
<h2><strong>Are lighting circuits ring or radial?</strong></h2>
<p>Unlike power circuits, <b>lighting circuits are always of the radial type</b>. The cable leaves the consumer unit and runs to each outlet position before terminating at the last fitting on the line. Most houses have at least two lighting circuits &#8211; usually one upstairs and one down.</p>
<h2><strong>How many LED lights can you put on one switch?</strong></h2>
<p>When it comes to LED and CFL bulbs used in recessed fixtures, we have mentioned that they produce light that is similar to a 60W incandescent bulb. The inrush current for LED lights is usually 20 amps for 240VAC. Therefore, a 15amp circuit can safely accommodate <b>180 or more fixtures</b> using LED or CFL bulbs.</p>
<h2><strong>What happens if you wire a light switch wrong?</strong></h2>
<p>If a light switch is wired up wrongly, <b>a short circuit may takes place if you give phase and neutral to the switch terminals</b>. Always connect neutral wire to the one terminal of the light and phase to the one terminal of the switch and off wire to the other terminal of the switch to the light other terminal.</p>
<h2><strong>How many lights can I put on one circuit?</strong></h2>
<p>You can put up to <b>30 lights</b> (based on 50 watt light) on a 15 amp breaker. You can put up to 40 lights (based on 50 watt light) on a 20 amp breaker.</p>
<h2><strong>Can you put lights and outlets on the same circuit?</strong></h2>
<p>Basic answer to your question of can a mixture of lights and receptacles be installed on a single circuit is <b>yes</b>. Check with local authorities on those limitations but yes it can be done. The groundwork for all AC circuits which are wired in what is known as parallel circuitry.</p>
<h2><strong>Does power go to switch or light?</strong></h2>
<p>When you turn on a light switch, <b>power goes to the light through</b> the “hot” (black) wire and then back through the neutral (white) wire to the ground. The bare or green-wrapped ground wires serve as a backup to divert the power safely away in case of an electrical fault.</p>
<h2><strong>Which is better cool white or warm white?</strong></h2>
<p>While cool white look great in modern kitchens and where the brighter the better, <b>warm white</b> works much better where you are looking for softer light. It&#8217;s particularly well suited to lounges, living rooms and traditional kitchen, like country styles, where the white light contrasts too much with the rest of the room.</p>
<h2><strong>Which is better soft white or daylight?</strong></h2>
<p>Soft white (2,700 to 3,000 Kelvin) is warm and yellow, the typical color range you get from incandescent bulbs. &#8230; <b>Daylight</b> (5,000 to 6,500 Kelvin) has a more bluish tone. This light color will maximize contrast for colors, making it ideal for working, reading or applying makeup.</p>
<h2><strong>How many lumens do I need per square foot?</strong></h2>
<p>As a handy rule of thumb, a sitting room or bedroom will generally require around <b>10-20 lumens per square foot</b>, while a bathroom or kitchen will need a stronger level of lighting, at around 70-80 lumens per square foot. To work out the lumens you need, simply multiply the square footage of the room by this figure.</p>

<p>also, Can you bypass a pull chain switch on a ceiling fan? If you find the <b>wires going into</b> the pull chains switch &amp; wire nut these two wires together, you&#8217;ll bypass the switch.</p>
<p>How do you turn off the light when the chain breaks?</p>
<p>Put the bulb back in so that the light is on. <b>Find the breaker in your breaker panel</b> that powers off the light. Flip it off so that the light is in the off position. Remove the screws that hold the socket to the wall.</p>
<h2><strong>Can a pull chain light switch be converted to wall switch?</strong></h2>
<p>Pull chain switches normally wear out long before the light fixture. <b>The light can be converted to operate from a wall switch</b> whether the pull string has stopped working, or you&#8217;re tired of flailing around in the dark. Install an easy-to-find light switch to operate the ceiling light for years of reliable service.</p>
<h2><strong>What is the difference between a 1 way and 2 way pull cord switch?</strong></h2>
<p>In its working, the main difference between them is <b>the number of contacts they each have</b>. The one-way switch has two contacts and the two-way switch has three contacts. In a two-way switch, there are two, one-way switches combined in one. &#8230; You flip the switch ON to light up the stairs as you walk up.</p>
<h2><strong>Can you convert a light to a pull chain?</strong></h2>
<p>If you have a light fixture in a location that would be better served by a pull chain fixture, you can convert a light to a pull chain in just <b>a few minutes</b>.</p>
<h2><strong>How do you fix a stuck ceiling fan pull chain?</strong></h2>
<p>If your ceiling fan&#8217;s pull chain is jammed, the easiest fix is <b>to install a new switch completely</b>. Once you&#8217;ve turned off the power and removed the outer housing, swapping out the old switch with a new one is a relatively simple undertaking.</p>
<h2><strong>How do I turn my fan on without a chain?</strong></h2>
<p>To control the fan speed without the switch, you&#8217;d have to <b>apply current to the proper wires to get the speed you want</b>. Since this is likely a mechanical device (not electronic), the only way to change the setting is to physically move the switch to another position.</p>
<h2><strong>How do I bypass fan speed switch?</strong></h2>
<p><b>Turn off the power</b>, and then splice one of the wires coming from the black box to the hot from the pull chain. Turn the power back on, and see if it spins at the desired speed. If not turn the power off, splice the other wire, and repeat until you get the result you&#8217;re looking for, or the fan shorts out.</p>
<h2><strong>Are pull chain lights legal?</strong></h2>
<p>As Joel Owens posted, the <b>pull chain is permissible as long as there is a wall switch that controls the overall power to the fixture</b>.</p>
<h2><strong>Can you add a pull chain to any light?</strong></h2>
<p>You can <b>fit your</b> ceiling light with a pull-chain switch. &#8230; Doing so requires you to remove the fixture, drill a hole to screw on a pull switch and wire the black wires through the switch.</p>
<h2><strong>How do I add a second light switch without wiring?</strong></h2>
<p><b>  How to Add a Second Light Switch Without Wiring </b> </p>
<ol>
<li>   Unscrew the wall plate.  </li>
<li>   Unscrew the existing switch.  </li>
<li>   Mark the wires before you remove them.  </li>
<li>   Disconnect the wires from the current switch.  </li>
<li>   Connect wires to the corresponding parts of the Lutron switch.  </li>
</ol>
<h2><strong>Can I use a 2 way light switch as a 1 way?</strong></h2>
<p>A <b>two way switch can</b> be used as a one way switch or a two way switch. They are often used as both.</p>
<h2><strong>Can I put a dimmer on a 2 way switch?</strong></h2>
<p>If you have a 2-way circuit (where the same lights are controlled by two switches) you must choose a push-on/push-off dimmer and replace one of the switches with that dimmer. <b>You can only use one push-on/push-off dimmer</b> in a 2-way circuit.</p>
<h2><strong>What is the difference between a 2 way switch and a 3 way switch?</strong></h2>
<p>Both 2 Way and 3 Way switches are SPDT switches. But 3 Way switches have an extra pin called &#8216;Grounding pin&#8217;, which is not present on 2-way switches. 2 Way Switches have 3 screws, whereas <b>3 Way Switches have 4 screws</b>. But irrespective of that, in both cases, you can employ 2 switches to control the load.</p>
<h2><strong>How do I make a pull chain light fixture?</strong></h2>
<p><b>  To add a pull chain to a light fixture, follow these steps: </b> </p>
<ol>
<li>   Drill a hole at the base of the light, and add the chain to the hole.  </li>
<li>   Finish installing the switch and secure it with a nut.  </li>
<li>   Remove the cover and secure the black wires in the switch together, then do the wiring.  </li>
<li>   Put your switch cover back.  </li>
</ol>
<h2><strong>Can you add a switch to a sconce?</strong></h2>
<p>there are also two-way light switches that work, but this is what they had…same same, different packaging. Then, you just need to unscrew to the pull switch cover off, and thread it through your hole: Then re-attach your cover, should look like this: Now you just attach it to the wall!</p>
<h2><strong>Why does my ceiling fan only work on one speed?</strong></h2>
<p>The ceiling fan <b>capacitor decides the amount of the power to be delivered to the motor</b>. When the capacitor does not work, the required amount of the power will not be transferred to the motor and that might make your ceiling fan to stick on the same speed. You can change the capacitor to fix the issue.</p>
<h2><strong>How do you install a zing ear switch?</strong></h2>
<p>Turn the power off for the device at the source. <br /> &#8230;  </p>
<ol>
<li>   Connect the green/copper wires together.  </li>
<li>   Connect white wires together.  </li>
<li>   Connect black wires together.  </li>
<li>   Connect the lighting wire, typically blue, to the black fan wire and the black ceiling wire.  </li>
<li>   Tuck the wires back into the box.  </li>
<li>   Turn the power back on and test the fan.  </li>
</ol>
<h2><strong>How do you bypass a speed switch on a ceiling fan?</strong></h2>
<p>How do you bypass the speed switch on a ceiling fan? <b>Turn off the power, and then splice one of the wires coming from the black box to the hot from the pull chain</b>. Turn the power back on, and see if it spins at the desired speed.</p>
<h2><strong>Do ceiling fans with remotes have pull chains?</strong></h2>
<p>The remote switch is connected inside the ceiling junction box and is controlled with a hand held or wall mounted unit, and allows you to turn the fan and light on-or-off at your will. If you don&#8217;t have a remove and don&#8217;t have separate switches, <b>you will have to use the pull chains hanging down from the fan</b>.</p>
<h2><strong>Do you need a wall switch for a ceiling fan?</strong></h2>
<p>While most ceiling fans are remote control adaptable, meaning a remote can be added if desired, there are some of fans that come with a remote and cannot have a switch installed (i.e. remote only). &#8230; That way <b>only a single wall switch plate is required</b> which keeps the wall looking cleaner and less cluttered.</p>
<h2><strong>How do I change the speed of my ceiling fan without a remote?</strong></h2>
<p>To control a remote-controlled ceiling fan without using the remote, <b>add a pull cord to the pull switch on the motor module</b>. The pull cord can be purchased from a hardware store or garden and patio shop, while the tools needed are already in most households.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Turn the power off for the device at the source. <br /> &#8230;  </p>
<ol>
<li>   Connect the green/copper wires together.  </li>
<li>   Connect white wires together.  </li>
<li>   Connect black wires together.  </li>
<li>   Connect the lighting wire, typically blue, to the black fan wire and the black ceiling wire.  </li>
<li>   Tuck the wires back into the box.  </li>
<li>   Turn the power back on and test the fan.  </li>
</ol>
<p>similarly, How do you turn on a light without a switch?</p>
<p><b>  There are 3 options to deal with it: </b> </p>
<ol>
<li>   Dig into your walls and run a wall switch. This is a lot of mess, time, and cost.  </li>
<li>   Install another pull-chain fixture.  </li>
<li>   Install a radio controlled on/off switch and put the control on a wall bracket where you&#8217;d want the switch to be.  </li>
</ol>
<p>on the other hand, Can I bypass a light switch?</p>
<p>If the light is currently controlled by a switch, you could bypass the switch by <b>simply taking the two wires that go to the switch off of it and wire nutting them together</b>.</p>
<p>also, Is it safe to bypass a light switch? <b>Yes, you can safely bypass a switch</b>. It&#8217;s no different than having a solid length of wire, or a closed switch (electrically speaking). In the US, a twist-on wire connector (wire nut) would be the preferred connector.</p>
<p>How do I add a second light switch without wiring?</p>
<p><b>  How to Add a Second Light Switch Without Wiring </b> </p>
<ol>
<li>   Unscrew the wall plate.  </li>
<li>   Unscrew the existing switch.  </li>
<li>   Mark the wires before you remove them.  </li>
<li>   Disconnect the wires from the current switch.  </li>
<li>   Connect wires to the corresponding parts of the Lutron switch.  </li>
</ol>
<h2><strong>How do I make my light switch always on?</strong></h2>
<p>The object of a switch is just that, A Switch. If you want lights on permanently then <b>just join the wire either side of the switch together in</b> a Wago connector.</p>
<h2><strong>Can you change an electrical outlet that is controlled by a light switch?</strong></h2>
<p>Simply plug a <b>Switcheroo</b> into your switched outlet, and then another Switcheroo into as many outlets that you want to turn on and off with your existing switch. Set them to the same channel and you are done.</p>
<h2><strong>Are smart switches always on?</strong></h2>
<p>Smart light switches seem a bit of a contradiction when you first think about them, because an electrical switch has two states: on or off. But yet, <b>any smart device must always be &#8216;on&#8217; in order for it to be smartly controlled</b>.</p>
<h2><strong>Can I run 2 lights from one switch?</strong></h2>
<p>You can do this light switch wiring in one of two ways. The most common is to daisy-chain the light fixtures by connecting them to each other and hooking the first one up to the switch. The other way to wire multiple lights to one switch is <b>to connect all of them directly to the switch in a</b> &#8220;home run&#8221; configuration.</p>
<h2><strong>Can one switch control 2 lights?</strong></h2>
<p>Two separate circuits are controlled by one switch. This is typically used to control a circuit from multiple locations in a series of three switches on one circuit. <b>A double pole switch</b> can be used to control light and a fan or 2 lights on separate circuits.</p>
<h2><strong>Why is my light always on?</strong></h2>
<p>Either your switch is defective or <b>you have tied the hot wire and your switch leg together somewhere</b> that is causing the light bulb to always be on. Turn your electrical power off and if you can identify the circuit breaker that feeds that particular area or room so much the better.</p>
<h2><strong>How do you bypass a 3 way switch?</strong></h2>
<p><b>  4 Answers </b> </p>
<ol>
<li>   replace that switch with a single-pole switch.  </li>
<li>   connect either of the &#8220;traveler&#8221; wires to the load side.  </li>
<li>   remove the other (unwanted) switch and connect the traveler wire used in step-2 to the &#8220;switched hot&#8221; wire that goes to the lights.  </li>
<li>   the unused &#8220;traveler&#8221; wire is abandoned.  </li>
</ol>
<h2><strong>Do I break both tabs on outlet?</strong></h2>
<p>Connecting them to each other, however, as in a typical receptacle, results in the immediate tripping of the breaker. In short, <b>don&#8217;t worry about breaking the tab</b> on a neutral side unless you&#8217;re an experienced electrician, or you found it that way (perhaps while replacing the receptacle).</p>
<h2><strong>How do you separate a light switch from an outlet?</strong></h2>
<p>Your choices are to <b>run a separate line from the electrical box to the outlet</b>, or run a separate line from the hot lines in the light switch box to the outlet. One tip is to make a little drawing of what is connected to what as you take things apart, even tagging wires with labels if you need to.</p>
<h2><strong>Do I have to keep my light switch on for smart bulbs?</strong></h2>
<p><b>Smart bulbs require constant power to be flowing to them</b>, so that even if you turn the smart bulb &#8216;off&#8217; (e.g. via your smartphone app or a smart speaker), the smart bulb can still be turned &#8216;on&#8217; later. In other words, smart bulbs always consume a little bit of electricity, even when they&#8217;re off.</p>
<h2><strong>Do smart switches use electricity when off?</strong></h2>
<p>The thing about smart plugs is that <b>they still use energy even when</b> the appliance they&#8217;re connected to is turned off. &#8230; However, the energy it uses is very minimal that it won&#8217;t make a significant impact on your electricity bill. A smart plug is only energy-saving when used with the right devices and when used properly.</p>
<h2><strong>Do smart bulbs work without WiFi?</strong></h2>
<p>Thanks to backup Bluetooth technology in most WiFi smart bulbs, your lights can still operate if the WiFi or internet is down. Having hubs increased functionality and greater control over the lights. Still, they do need <b>a working WiFi network</b> to do all that.</p>
<h2><strong>What is a three way switch?</strong></h2>
<p>A 3-way switch is larger than a single pole switch and has <b>three screw terminals for wiring connections</b>, plus a ground. Two of these take traveler wires that go from one switch to the other. For the third terminal, one switch is connected to the hot supply wire while the other switch is joined to the light.</p>
<h2><strong>How many lights can I put on one switch?</strong></h2>
<p>The basics of light switch wiring</p>
<p> <b>There is no limit to the number of lights on a circuit</b>. The load of the fixtures is what determines how many lights a circuit can accommodate. A conventional 15A circuit can have up to 1400W of lighting loads connected to it.</p>
<h2><strong>Can you jump power from one switch to another?</strong></h2>
<p><b>You can wire two light switches with one power supply</b>. It&#8217;s common to power two or more light switches from a single power supply, and the switches can be in the same electrical box or different parts of the house. The power source is typically the building&#8217;s main electrical panel.</p>
<h2><strong>How do you separate lights on the same switch?</strong></h2>
<p><b>  2 Answers </b> </p>
<ol>
<li>   Get a 2-gang box to replace your existing 1-gang box.  </li>
<li>   Get a new switch.  </li>
<li>   Remove your existing box and install the 2-gang box in its place.  </li>
<li>   Run your supply hot wire to both switches.  </li>
<li>   Connect the light/fan hot wire to one switch and the exterior light to the other.  </li>
<li>   Join all neutrals and ground wires.  </li>
</ol>
<h2><strong>How many LED lights can you put on one switch?</strong></h2>
<p>When it comes to LED and CFL bulbs used in recessed fixtures, we have mentioned that they produce light that is similar to a 60W incandescent bulb. The inrush current for LED lights is usually 20 amps for 240VAC. Therefore, a 15amp circuit can safely accommodate <b>180 or more fixtures</b> using LED or CFL bulbs.</p>
<h2><strong>What happens if you wire a light switch wrong?</strong></h2>
<p>If a light switch is wired up wrongly, <b>a short circuit may takes place if you give phase and neutral to the switch terminals</b>. Always connect neutral wire to the one terminal of the light and phase to the one terminal of the switch and off wire to the other terminal of the switch to the light other terminal.</p>
