Hi Everyone,
Although i have done plenty of basic electrical work, my new basement has me a little annoyed.
The builder basically daisy chained all the light fixtures in the basement. Yes, all 8 of them. So basically I have to turn all of them on or off at the same time. I have gone about removing a few of them and putting a dimmer in to lower the lights, specially when watching a movie etc.
My question is if I put a pull switch on one of the fixtures, would that effect the whole chain?
My logic says no as the pull will be installed on the individual wire, but wanted to get some expert opinions.
Any other idea of getting away from the daisy chained lights would be helpful. Ofcourse without having to get an professional in and getting the whole basement re-wired.
Thanks,
Buckeyedoc
