Wiring An Attic Pull Light Fixture
I show the steps to install a pull chain light fixture.
Wiring an attic pull light fixture. Hook up the outlet as you normally would. The light switch should be located close to the opening to the attic entrance where a 2 wire cable with ground is installed up to the existing light fixture. You then splice all the white wires and all the ground wires in the switch box together. You can usually install a light fixture between an existing one and the switch by cutting the cable to the existing fixture at the location of the new one inserting the ends of the cable into the electrical box for the new fixture and pigtailing the new fixture onto these wires.
Connect the hot wire to the brass screw and the neutral wire to the silver. Use wire nuts to connect the black wire from the 12 2 wire to the black or red wire in the attic fan the white wire to the white wire in the attic fan and the two ground wires. 9 install the fans.
