It's a little unclear what you're trying to do, but if you intend to tap
power for this new circuit after the existing indoor switch, but before the
motion detector and feed a GFCI outlet and a switch for a floodlight, it
will work fine as long as the circuit can handle the additional load.

Hello everyone. What I am proposing to do is add an outdoor light
controlled by an outdoor switch in a double gang box that will also
have a GFI duplex outlet. The power will be provided by an existing
outdoor motion sensing light that is controlled by an existing indoor
single pole switch. This indoor switch is in the on position
practically all of the time so I believe if I just pigtail power to the
motion sensor light and then run power to the new fixtures I should be
alright, right? Will the power downline be turned off and on by the
motion sensor? Also, will I need to upgrade the indoor switch to handle
the extra load and is it also a bad idea to put another switch on a
line that has already been switched. Thanks.
