Default Trying to make sense of wiring...

OK I have not really thought this out, so this is just a quick
non-certified reply.

It appears to be a light with pass through power and a switch line.

There appears to be an error in that all three grounds should have been
connected (and attached to the box). A second possible error may be the
lack of remarking the color of the wire to the switch. I seem to recall
that current code requires marking the ends of the wire in this case.


It does, but I believe that that is a recent addition to the code so it
may not have been a violation when the work was done.
