Switch Near Sink??
My wife wants a switched light (recessed) put in over the kitchen sink.
Not a problem for me to do, - - but are there any particular rules about having a switch to close to the sink or anything?? Thanks . . . |

None that I know of. Disposal units are switched next to the sink, and lights over the sink are not uncommon at all. So it shouldn't be a problem.

Nope. This is a perfectly typical installation.

Re: Switch Near Sink??
Think the code says you can't put a switch within 3 feet of the sink if there's more than 3 beers within the installer?

Re: Switch Near Sink??
It will be Christmas soon. Don't install a switch, wait for those "Clapper" commercials to start up, that's probably the best solution...
