Hey question about this video please! The very last example shows neutral being terminated inside of the switch box. Why is that? Is that because you would splice into the hot wire so you have both neutral and hot there in the box?

Why is it that you prefer to put the line wire or incoming power on the bottom terminal of the switch? Its strange because most electricians ik who have a preference will say to put it on the top terminal. If you answer, I will definitely buy you a coffee.

I’m a first year electrician and you have really helped me strive in my development electrical career!! Thank you!!! Keep up the great videos

You finally allowed me to finish my diy lighting project in my garage that I've fumbled with for two years. Thank you very much!

Thank you for you simple explanation with minimal introduction along with clear diagrams. Extremely well done!! You've earned a subscriber for sure. I'm wiring my kids bedroom this coming week and this will help a ton

Excellent video. For those that have trouble understanding Loop switch connections, the second example spells it out perfectly.

THANK YOU Paul!!!! This video is exactly what I needed to wrap my head around this concept!

Thank you!! First video I’ve seen about wiring a switch that explained the how of why a switch works. A light bulb finally went off in my head too!! You’re the best. I can now reword my switch and stop tripping the breaker!! My hero!

Excellent video. The diagrams make the concept crystal clear. Thank you.

This video is exactly what I have been looking for. Excellent presentation. I felt like a middle school student who understood everything. haha.

Excellent video. I followed this to wire up a light in our storage room. Before this video, I had NO IDEA how to do it. Much appreciated. Thanks for the help.

I watched many practical videos on wiring a single pole switch and light in preparation to expand a switch from a 1 gang box to a 2 gang box and wire 2 separate lights. This has helped me understand more clearly the 3 types of switch wiring I may run into. Thanks for the wonderful video and easy explanation!!!

Thanks for the video, I was going crazy trying to get the light switch to work

Simple and very well explained. Good job and thank you.

Now that was the simple explanation w diagram I needed!

Your expertise and video made it happen!!!!!! Took me 15 minutes !!!! You are AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!

Clearest and most instructional video tutorial yet among YT posts.

Good sir, you are the paragon of instruction excellence. Gratitude.

Excellent instruction. I came across the second wiring setup today while trying to find a fault causing my light to flicker. I was fairly sure I understood the proper wiring but fairly sure isn’t good enough when it comes to wiring. Thanks to this video I am confident.

I did. It was a loose connection in the light fixture - the wire nut was poorly installed. I did not do the original installation.

And thanks a lot for the great video. It really has helped me to understand the distribution of electricity.

Thanks Paul, saved me an electrician consultation.

Great simple instructions. Thank you

I can’t tell you how helpful this was. Great video and new sub. Wow, installed a new light for wife and she is one happy camper.

Awesome video! It helps me understand the basic flow of electricity and how it works....You've provided clear and concise explanation. Thanks.

Found this quite helpful

Easy to understand for non for non-electrician like me. Thanks helped me a lot

Thank you thank you thank you! I did not understand how the second scenario works. Your video was so clear in explaining it. 😊

After viewing many youtube videos your video made it clear how to fix my electrical problem. No more tripping of the circuit breaker when the wall switch is on. The ceiling fan is now installed, and it is working properly. Thanks for your info.🙂

Excuse the following "manplanation": I just bought a gutted house from the city of Detroit and it's over 100 years old. Needless to say, there's a lot of work to do. I ran some lights (once DTE Energy decided to come turn on the power) just so I could see, but I didn't include any switches. I've popped a circuit trying to install a switch AFTER the light and power source. Your video is so straightforward and easy to understand and follow. Thank you so much for making the content you do. You've definitely saved me a lot of headache.

Awesome videos!!! Great explanations and visuals!!!

you all saved the day for me!. thank you for your videos!

Great video my friend, very useful, thank you very much for sharing, keep safe

I was re-wiring a light curcuit for weeks. Your Vid Fixed it🎉🎉🎉

Thanks for the second schematic explanation. Saved my day.

I watched this video and was able to fix my mistake right away and finished the job correctly. Thanks for a great video.

The first example helped me. Thank you.

version 2 fixed my problem thank you.

With your video, i was able to fix my wiring for my switch!

im switching out my old fashioned dumb light switches with smart light switches and this totally helped me understand how to do it. thanks

Great video! Very helpful

I'm going around the house ensuring every room has a GFCI at the first outlet bringing electricity into the room since my house has no grounding and ran into a situation in which my GCFI would trip. Solved that, then my breaker would trip. Then came to this video rearranged the wiring according to this one of these setups and voila!!! Fixed! Thanks a lot for your videos!!

Thank you, I found this quite educational.

Thank you so much. You helped me out of a jam👍

That perfect pic at 1:29 is all I needed Thank you! Just wired the switch in my room by myself

Very clear tutorial, without the excess time consumed watching someone strip the wires.

Excellent explanation, thank you

detail and informative so as to build the basis of electricity.

Thank you your video is well explained!

I used this first method and it saved me!! Thank you

Is there a reason why in the second illustration you are connecting the black and white wire together at the light instead of running both neutrals to the light and the black wires to the wire nut?

Awesome! Thank you!

Very nicely explained. Thanks from Victoria BC Canada.

Thanks for the video God continue to bless you

Thanks for this video thumps up

Very nice job!

Thank you. I pulled apart a bunch of wiring from an electrical box when I was adding an outlet. I didn't pay close enough attention to the original wiring and couldn't get anything to work. I used the second configuration for the switch and everything is good now. It felt so *WRONG* connecting the neutral to the hot.

I as well found this video to be very helpful n best one out there that explains it in details n simple to follow terms. U help me out off this issue that i have been in for a week thank u very much from a new subscriber.

Great explanation please do more explaining how to wire 240 volt 2 and 3 wires and why. Thank you.

240V circuits are just like 120V circuits, except there are "two hots". Either hot and the neutral make 120 volts. But the two hots connected to something without the neutral make 240V. You only need the two hots for a 240V device, like a water heater. You need the two hots and the neutral for a 240V/120V device (it uses both voltages), like a clothes dryer or an electric range.

Wow awesome vid thanka

Thank you this saved our house

Very helpful👍

Life saver! Thanks

i like it thanks

Thanks so much 😅

very good

Thanks for the video! Will the first version also work for using a switch to control current to a string of outlets? In that case, would the outlets downstream just be wired up normally, with the neutral wire that skips the switch being pigtailed or wired through the receptacles?

yup, it helped!

super helpfull only one snag i have the 2nd option here where the power comes into the light and i want to add another switch for my ceiling fan and one for pot lights is it possible to use pigtails on the light switch side to extend or do i have to run 2 more wires down from the box above?

Thanks.

Thank you very much u help me alot🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤😂😂

The third version of the switch wiring is often required in new installations in many jurisdictions as a neutral is required in all j boxes due to the increased prevalence of “smart” switches. Having this neutral is also nice should one want to add another light or receptacle to the circuit.

Very good video. Question on the next version of wiring diagram, can you add outlet? Is that safe? Thank you

Great video Paul , where can I find the setup for the other countries that you mentioned at the start.

thanks

Thanks for the info. Please share, why is tjere a nuetral terminated in the switch box?

Thank you bro omg

any suggestions for adding a fixture and switch to the 2nd configuration? i think someone called it a "loop" below. they will be on the same breaker, but i need to add a fixture and change the single switch to a double. thanks so much!

Thank you! This was very helpful!

Amazing video I am dancing now solved my problems

Great videos! Do you have one for the next step of adding an outlet run from the diagram at 3:15 of this video? Not switch controlled, just an outlet run.

Like are you talking about powering a couple plugs off of the power that goes to the switch box? We try not to do that anymore,but what you do in that case is you run a wire from the switch box to your plug box,splice the neutrals,and make a pigtail with the hot from the power,and your hot for you plug wire (a pigtail is where you add a length of wire to your splice,so you can connect to a device).

Your animations look very good.

Many thanks with a question; In the second scenario where the lamp is first in the circuit; if I were to be running a series of lights on that circuit (ex: a series of 4 recessed lights in a room), would those three additional lights feed from the neutral and hot wires that are connected to the bulb in your example, or to the neutral attached to the bulb, and the hot that bypasses the bulb (connected to the white "hot" wire) traveling to the switch?
