Description

This lesson will teach you how to make up variations on plugs including switched plugs, half switched plugs, GFI plugs and GFI protected plugs.  In addition to a single pole switch, you'll learn variations on 3 Way Switches - and how to re-teach yourself if you forget.  You'll learn 4 Way Switches and how to have an emergency light or night light in the same run with switched lights.  We've also included a special section on using Stranded Wire.
