Greetings,
I will be running new Romex wire to a new dimmer switch and the dimmer switch will control two overhead light fixtures simultaneously (not independently) over a kitchen bar area. New Romex 12 gauge wire (yellow) everywhere (circuit is 20 amp). The Romex for the lights and the switch will be contained in a junction box in the basement joists, with power coming from the circuit breaker. The junction box and the ceiling/switch boxes are all new blue plastic.
Here is my code question:
Since both lights will be controlled together in concert by one dimmer switch, should I connect one light fixture to the other (Fixture A getting its power from Fixture B) and have one piece of Romex going to the junction box to power both, or should each fixture be getting its power directly from the junction box (As opposed to Fixture A getting its power from Fixture B) and have two pieces of Romex going to the junction box to get power (one for each fixture)?
Thanks for your help!
