I'm new here so please bear with me. I just bought a home. It had 3 incandecent lights in the basement. I just installed 6 recessed lighting fixtures by running 14/2 one to the other. Now I went to run the power from an existing light fixture. It has a 14/2 coming from the circuit breaker box, a 14/2 running to another incandecent fixture, and there was a 14/3 coming from the light switch. It is not a 3 way switch. It is the only switch for the basement lights. The switch has a red hooked up to it and a black with the whites tied off. Now my question is, do I run the black wire coming from the breaker box to the red of the switch, and then the black from the switch to the black of the recessed lights? And would 6 60 watt Halogen bulbs with 2 70 watt incandesent bulbs be too much of a load on the 1 switch and breaker? God any help that you guys can give me would be a lifesaver!!! I have everything all ready to be wired up with the exception of the power and the switch. Thanks alot to who ever can answer this one!!!!

We purchased a home that was built in 1986. Several of the electrical outlets are controlled by wall mounted switches. Is there something I can do to get rid of the switches so the outlets always carry a current? It's driving us nuts! The outdoor lights are motion sensor...so we have to continually flick on and off to switch the lights to regular "stay on" lighting...switches that only controll sockets....and I'm not even going to address what we went through with the cable/satelitte hook up! I'm trying to standard everything and take out all the guess work. It's a wonderful home but we want to "raise the bar" and ensure we are upgraded, safe, and within code (of course). Recommendations? Thanks!
