Constant power?

[DsSparky]

How do I make up a lighting box with constant power? Im using 12/3 with the red being constant.

need a bit more info on what you want to achieve. your post is like Custer asking "where's them pesky Indians at?".

So here's a photo of the switch. 12/2 homerun and the 12/3 is the switchleg going to the light. The lights are linked together by 2 12/3s. The red will be the constant for the lights. Just need to know how to make it up. Do I pigtail the red in with the power from the h/r and then pigtail the two reds in the lighting box?

Here's a photo of it partially made up.

Just need to know what to do with the red/ constant. Two switches on their own dedicated circuit

I still have no idea what the question is. Hopefully Megawatt will be along soon.

That looks a professional job how come you are asking on a forum. What way of switching is it.

How about sending a picture

I figured it out.

Yeah i sent pics of the switchbox. So for the light imagine a metal 4 square with two 12/3 mc's in it. I figured to out. I just neeitchded to tie the red from the switchleg in with the power from the homerun. That will take a constant source of power up to the light. Then the black in the 12/3 will be switchable but there will also be a constant power source for the emergency lights

Ah, emergency lighting. I think I understand now!

 

[westward10]

I am going to start using the term homerun.

Be careful out there y'all.

@westward10 that what call ours. All pipes coming from the panel going to the circuitry is what we call a home run
