How To Wire A One - Way lighting Circuit - the old way and the NEW

Wiring a one-way lighting circuit involves connecting a light fixture to a switch using a single cable. Here is a step-by-step guide on how to wire a one-way lighting circuit:

Note: It is essential to turn off the power at the main circuit breaker before working on any electrical wiring.

Gather the necessary materials: You will need a junction box, a one-way switch, a light fixture, a length of appropriate electrical cable (e.g., 2-core or 3-core cable), wire connectors, and basic electrical tools (screwdriver, wire stripper, pliers).

Install the junction box: Mount the junction box in the desired location on the wall or ceiling where the light fixture will be installed. Ensure it is securely attached and provides enough space for the wiring connections.

Run the cable: Measure and cut a length of electrical cable to run from the junction box to the switch location. Leave enough slack at both ends for easy connections. Use appropriate cable clips or conduit to secure the cable along its path.
