I have a 4 bulb vanity light fixtures. Wall switch black and white wires. The light fixtures have two pairs of wires. There are two switch wires black and white. The other pair is the source wires black(Hot) and white. In addition a outlet has been installed with a black and white wire. The handyman wired everything. The light comes on and off okay, but now the outlet in energized even with the wall switch off.I guess he didn’t connect the outlet black to the black switch wire?
