| Can someone clarify how to wire multiple fixtures with the switch at the end of the run (switch loop)?
This is what I have: Power in Black to Switch White
This is related to my previous post concerning fluorescent fixtures. I wired up new lights, but when I turn them on, they seem dim and buzz. As I understand it - it should not matter that they are fluorescent fixtures. What am I missing? What else would cause fluorescent fixtures to buzz? |

| Thanks for great diagram! I've been looking for something this precise for the better part of the day! Looks like I have it wired properly. The only difference is that the proximity of everything lets me use 2 wire in place of the 3 wire - I have the power-in black hooked directly to the switch white. Is there anything else that could cause the buzz? I'm going to wire a plug to the fixtures and try them individually on a different circuit, see what I get.

| D'oh! Turns out you need to install all the fluorescent tubes. These fixtures have two tubes per fixture. I didn't realize that I could not test the fixture with just one bulb per fixture. I'm hoping that I am in the clear now. Thanks for all the help! |
