I am installing multiple lamp holders for my garden bed to use par 38 flood light bulbs. I purchased all weatherproof materials that is rated for outdoors ( dug trench, purchased uf 12/3)
The power source is coming from the garage right to the lights, then after the last light will be the switch inside the bar. What would be the correct way to connect all of these lights to the one switch? Also want to put an outlet and another light inside bar. I’ve attached a diagram for better understanding
You'll want to run your 12/3 from the panel to the switch location. In the panel hook your black wire to your circuit breaker, the white wire to neutral and ground to ground. You can cap the red wire and leave a note to what you're doing. At each light location connect your fixture white to your white feed and your other fixture wire, probably black, to the red feed wire. In the switch box, pigtail the feed black to the switch and to your outlet. Pigtail the white to the outlet and to the extra light. Pigtail the red to the switch and to the extra light.
