Adding pot lights

billmack30

I had a light bulb with pull chain on my wall. I wanted to remove the light bulb with pull chain and add two pot lights controlled by a light switch.

When i removed the pull chain light bulb there was a junction box in the wall. I wired the pot lights and switch as shown and the circuit trips when I switch the light on and off.

1. Am I doing this wrong ie. Do i need to run the wire from the junction box to the switch first and then the pot lights?

2. Also as of now, I have other lights and switches disconnected on the same circuit would that matter in this case?
