Quite possibly it does protect two downstream *outlets*. g
Light switches and lighting fixtures. It is unlikely that
someone will leave the switch on and stick their finger
in the socket while changing the light bulb while taking

Do yourself a favor and get a book or two on residential wiring from the
library or from the Borg before you start.
Guaranteed. I'll also have to take a test to do it legally
in my county. From what I've seen of the existing wiring,
either the test is less than thorough or a lot wiring
has been done illegally. I lived in an apartment that
had light switches wired in series (not either/or, series)
and a breaker panel that dangled from one screw.
Plus the painters didn't bother masking off the outlets,
they just painted over them so I had to dig the paint
out before plugging anything in.
