Have 2 lights Power to light 1 need to connect to light 2 then down to single pole switch How do you wire?
If there is constant power to light 1you can do this. What you should look for in the ceiling box of light 1 is two wires that are connected by a wire nut and not connected to the light.They will be either two blacks or two reds or ablack connected to a red. Take off the wire nut and check with an electrical tester to see if it is live. If it is turn off the switch and see if it is still live. If so, you are set to go. Turn off the power. Run a 14/2 cable to the closet. At the bedroom end connect the black wire to the two wires that had the wire nut connected to it at the bedroom ceiling light and put a wire nut on them and wrap with electrical tape. Connect the white wire to the other white wires in the bedroom light. Connect the ground to the other ground wires in the bedroom light. At the closet light end connect the white wire from the cable that you have just run to the white wire of the closet light. Now run a 14/2 cable down to the new switch on the wall from the closet light. Connect the black wire to one side of the switch. Now take a black magic marker and color the white wire black and connect it to the other side of the switch. Now go back to the closet light. You have connected the white to white already. You stiil have a white hanging loose that you have not connected. Color it black and connect it to the black that is coming from the bedroom light. The other black will be connected to the closet light black. Connect the grounds together and you are done. I know this sounds complicated, but if you follow the directions carefully you will have success.
why go through all that trouble, there are lights now you can screw in and press a button ,all you need is a couple of 1.5 batteries
if there is a hot and neutral at the existing bedroom light, extent both to new closet light then run two wires from new light to the switch. At the light connect the hot to one going to the switch and the other from the switch to the light. and the neutral to the light.
