Wiring a switch to PC Lights

Always switch the hot, period.

An example why; if you where change the bulbs with the switch off, the socket would still be hot.

Hi Steve.

I just wanted to keep the switch so I can turn the lights on and off. But after thinking about it, I'll probably put the lights on a timer anyways so I can switch the lights on and off using the manual override switch on the timer.

Anyhow, originally I was thinking of keeping the switch since the original canopy was wired with a switch. Its interesting that Coralife had it wired funny though (with the switch on the neutral wire).
