Question on wiring 2 wall lights
 
I want to hook up 2 wall fixtures but before I do, just want to double
check my options. I want to run my wiring from one of the nearby
outlets straight to the lights since the lights have a 'built in'
bottom turn switch. I wasn't planning on installing a wall switch,
unless it's a better idea (or the right idea) to have one.
Thanks in advance for any and all answers.

Question on wiring 2 wall lights
 
I'm no electrician, but it's perfectly acceptable to not have a wall
switch for a light fixture.

many closets work off the same principle...hell, so do floor lamps.
the switch is at the light bulb. I say go for it... unless of course,
you may want to put a dimmer on it later.

The phrasing of your question indicates you need to call in an electrician
to do this for you. Or spend some time researching how to do wiring and
then see what your local codes say about these things.

our wall switches outlast fixture switches. they are convenient. they
can be illuminated type.
or, you may want a motion switch.
