Hi,
I am converting an office/den to a hobby room. Currently, there is a drop chandelier(sp??) controlled by two 3-way switches. I would like to convert that light box to a two plug outlet. It is fine that it is controlled by the two switches, as I plan on installing a shop light in the chandeliers place. I would like to thave the outlet so I can have the shop light controlled by the switch, and one more outlet for any tools I may want to use. The Chandelier hangs from a chain, and the wiring is running through the chain up into the ceiling. I havent taken it down yet...but it is as simple as just wiring the outlet right the existing wires? Or will something else need to be done?
I am no electrician, but I have been replacing outlets and light switches in my home...that is the extend of my electrical knowledge.
Thank you for any help you may be able to provide.
