Adding new motion and non-motion lights with switch
I had originally wanted to add multiple outside motion lights connected to a single switch that could be used to override the motion sensor and keep the lights on (without having to deal with the on-off-on "morse code" action). After not being able to find an answer with clear enough details, I decided to use a combination of 1 motion light and 3 regular floodlights (non-motion), with only the 3 connected to a switch. All 4 lights would be powered from a single 20-amp source (outlet), with wires running through 3/4 EMT.
Could you please let me know if the attached diagram is correct? Though it's not shown, I'll also be pigtailing grounds at the switch and 3 light boxes, as well as the lights themselves. (I also didn't include the 4th light in the picture to keep it simple.)
I appreciate any feedback.

). I'm in the U.S. Out of curiosity, why doesn't Canada allow on a 20 amp? What's your alternative?
