Adding a light fixture from an existing switch ?
I have created a rental apt in my basement and I currently have a 3
way light switch that turns on the light at the top of the stairs and/ or from the basement doorway. I have turned the top of the stairs into a closet and sealed it from the bottom rental unit completely. The new closet is deep and very dark and so I wanted to add a small 60 watt light to it, but, the only power or electrical in the vicinity is this threeway switch (with red, black, white and ground wire, but the switch goes between either the white and black to keep the lights on downstairs or the red and white wires. Can I tap into this to create a new circuit for my light. The current load on this breaker is pretty minimal and the light will be used very infrequently. Thoughts and suggestions would be appreciated ! |
