I can drill the appropriate size hole in the sconce and mount the switch so it looks like it came from the factory like that. My idea is to wire the sconces directly to the wall outlet below and add a rotary canopy switch so we will be able to switch the light on and off.

I want to add two wall sconces to our dining room wall. I need guidance on adding a 2-wire rotary canopy switch to a wall sconce.

Can any of the electrical experts on this forum verify this is feasible and safe? I have attached photos of the sconce, the switch and a diagram of how I think the wiring would be done. Is the diagram I have included the appropriate method to wire the switch in? I can drill the appropriate size hole in the sconce and mount the switch so it looks like it came from the factory like that.Ģ. The wall sconces do not have an on/off switch.
#Wall sconces with on off switch Patch
The nearest light switch is over 18' away and at this time I don't want to have to drill holes through the wall studs and patch the drywall. There is a wall outlet directly below in the same stud bay where we want them mounted.
