To set up a basic light control, begin by identifying the components you’ll need. The key elements are the switch itself, the electrical box, and the wires: hot, neutral, and ground. The first step is to connect the power source to the switch, ensuring that the black (hot) wire is attached to the terminal screw. The white (neutral) wire does not connect to the switch, instead it travels directly to the light fixture. The grounding wire should be securely attached to the metal box or grounding terminal.
