## Description

Vanity lights on the sides of the mirror provide good lighting. Vanity Lights Many bathrooms have a single fixture positioned above the vanity, but a light source in this position casts shadows on the face and makes grooming more difficult. Light fixtures on either side of the mirror is a better arrangement. For a remodel, mark the mirror location, run cable, and position boxes before drywall installation. You can also retrofit by installing new boxes and drawing power from the existing fixture. The light sources should be at eye level; 66" is typical. The size of your mirror and its location on the wall may affect how far apart you can place the sconces, but 36" to 40" apart is a good guideline. How to Replace Vanity Lights in a Finished Bathroom Tools & Materials Drywall saw, drill, combination tool, circuit tester, screwdrivers, hammer, electrical boxes and braces, vanity light fixtures, NM cable, wire connectors, eye protection Step 1 Turn off the power at the service panel. Remove the old fixture from the wall, and test to make sure that the power is off. Then remove a strip of drywall from around the old fixture to the first studs beyond the approximate location of the new fixtures. Make the opening large enough that you have room to route cable from the existing fixture to the boxes. Step 2 Mark the location for the fixtures, and install new boxes. Install the boxes about 66" above the floor and 18" to 20" from the centerline of the mirror (the mounting base of some fixtures is above or below the bulb, so adjust the height of the bracing accordingly). If the correct location is on or next to a stud, you can attach the box directly to the stud; otherwise you’ll need to install blocking or use boxes with adjustable braces (shown). Step 3 Open the side knockouts on the electrical box above the vanity. Then drill 5 ⁄8" holes in the centers of any studs between the old fixture and the new ones. Run two NM cables from the new boxes for the fixtures to the box above the vanity. Protect the cable with metal protector plates. Secure the cables with cable clamps, leaving 11" of extra cable for making the connection to the new fixtures. Remove sheathing, and strip insulation from the ends of the wires. Step 4 Connect the white wires from the new cables to the white wire from the old cable, and connect the black wires from the new cables to the black wire from the old cable. Connect the ground wires. Cover all open boxes, and then replace the drywall, leaving openings for the fixture and the old box. (Cover the old box with a solid junction box cover plate. ) Pellentesque Blandit Install the fixture mounting braces on the boxes. Attach the fixtures by connecting the black circuit wire to the black fixture wire and connecting the white circuit wire to the white fixture wire. Connect the ground wires. Position each fixture over each box, and attach with the mounting screws. Restore power, and test the circuit.

Review: Helped me wire a room in my basement! - This book helped me rewire a room in my basement. I did duplex outlets, single pole switches, difficult three way switches, and changing breakers. I read about half of it to understand code, electrical best practices, and things to keep me alive. The diagrams were the most helpful part of the book. I supplemented my learning with lots of youtube videos about electrical wiring. (I suggest the "HouseImprovements" channel with Shannon.) I started there first, but realized I was in over my head. I used this book to learn the basics, learn the dos and don'ts, and then applied what i learned. I bought the kindle version on my ipad and was able to zoom in to view the diagrams. The only problem I encountered was that their example pictures and labeling of 3 way switches did not match the brand of 3 way switch I purchased. This is not the book's fault, but it would have helped to know their labeling wouldn't match all brands. In this instance I had to read the manufacture's directions.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Very good book with excellent illustrations, but has some editing mistakes
*by A***R on May 7, 2016*

Overall this is a very good book with great illustrations. Unfortunately, like other books on residential wiring I have seen, it hardly offers any information on multiwire branch circuits (MWBCs). Most older North American houses have a few of these, and I think it is vital that DIYers be given a rudimentary understanding of the theory and practice behind MWBCs. Without that, it would be all too easy for someone to wire or modify a MWBC incorrectly (e.g. both lines from the same leg in the panel) and overload the neutral conductor, which would be a fire hazard. Separately I have run across some editing errors that should be fixed. The egregious example is the photo on page 76, in which the service entrance conductors are mislabeled. The SE cable on the left is black, but is labeled as the neutral service wire. The middle cable is clearly recoded to neutral with white tape, and the ground bond is clearly tied in right next to it, but the label incorrectly describes it as one of the hot wires. The rightmost cable is recoded red (as the other hot leg) and it is labeled correctly. Separately, I have spotted a few instances in the text of "THNN" wire where I believe THHN was intended.
