I want to connect 2 light fixtures to a switch that also has an outlet and connect them to a wall outlet.Light fixtures----Switch/Outlet---OutletJust have to light fixture in an animal tank, a light switch/outlet on the outside, and a cord that leads to another outlet farther away.Call me an electrical newb but I actually have no idea how specifcally to do it. I can easily do this if I know how to and can easily do it.
Understand this? Black of cord goes to gold(brass) screw on outlet White of cord goes to silver screw of outlet Green of cord goes to green screw on outlet This outlet will be hot always. Hope that is what you want. Go from one screw on switch to empty gold screw on outlet Other screw on switch goes Black wire to lights from empty silver screw on outlet goes white wire to lights A green wire goes to ground screw on switch and also to ground light fixture. You should have a doubke gang box for the switch and outlet.
