What is the proper wiring digram for wireing an existing celing light with a pull cord ,to doing away with pullcord and instaling a wall switch.?I know you have to split wires i just forgot the proper way. Dutch
Currently both the hot wire and the neutral wire connect directly to the fixture. When you have a wall switch, the hot wire goes to the switch on one wire and back from the switch on the other wire, where it is connected to the hot side of the fixture. The neutral remains connected directly to the fixture
Stay out of trouble and pay attention to your color codes: the black (hot) wire at the box connects to the new black wire to the switch and the return (white) wire from the switch connects to the fixture. Code calls for the white wire to be permanently marked black with paint, tape, whatever. You may already know this, but it's aways good to review, right?
