Switched Outlets For Floor Lamps or Table Lamps
[ad#block]Question: Why is my outlet wall socket connected to the ceiling light?
This electrical question came from: Wayne, a Homeowner from England
Dave’s Reply:
Thanks for your electrical question Wayne.
Well Wayne, that’s a good question. It may be that at one time there was only the switched wall socket which would control a table lamp, then the decision was made to add a ceiling light fixture.
