a have a recess light on ceiling in the small hallway and i like to know if i get power from there for a chandelier in my next bedroom that light is controlled by single pole swicth? or can i get the power from a recptacle to my switch and ground + neutral from the same oulet to my chandelier? does any one has a picture there i can use or any idea.
Anytime starts a sentence with "is it safe" I get concerned, but at least you are asking.
Yes it can be made safe but it is also a questionable accepted/legal method for obtaining power for your chandelier.
Getting power at the outlet is preffered, but grabbing it at the recessed light is achievable in a pinch. Just make sure that you are following all grounding and protection procedures. In other words, do it as you know a professional would do.
If you have a hot wire (one that isn't switched) at your recessed light, you are good to go.
Hot and neutral from the recessed light goes to the chandelier location. From the chandelier location take the hot down to the switch location and return to the chandelier location with the switch leg. Bingo.
Of course it is easier said than done.
If you need a picture to understand the concept, perhaps you should be rethinking your project until you do a bit more research and feel comfortable with the task.
