One Switch Two Socket Connection Diagram. This is the simplest arrangement for more than one light on a single switch. There are two methods of making 2 way switching connection one is 2 wire control and another is 3 wire control.
The source for the circuit is at the switch and 2 wire cable runs to each receptacle outlet. With this arrangement all the outlets will turn on and off at the same time. This will allow you to connect the first light as you described above and to run this additional light from the same switch by utilizing the red conductor in the 3 wire as the switched conductor and the black wire as the continuous hot wire.

At the outlets each is wired using a pigtail splice to make the hot and neutral connections. There are two methods of making 2 way switching connection one is 2 wire control and another is 3 wire control. To wire this circuit in this manner you will need to run a 14 3 between the two light boxes. Light switch wiring diagram.
