 I have installed 4 new recessed lights? halo. I have it wired so that the switch is at the end of the circuit. I have made the white wire hot going to the switch, when the switch is turned on the black becomes hot and is pigtailed to each light. The problem is, what do I do with the white neutral wire on each light? Since I have already used up the white wire to feed power to the switch. Could I hook up the white neutral wire on each light to ground? I have tried to add another wire to each light to carry neutral back to the source but the breaker keeps popping. Thanks dan...deokao@aol.com

| Daniel, hate to be the barer of bad news but I think you need to have help on this one. Call an electrician.

| Daniel, read this post. Wiring a switch
I have to agree with David it sounds like you are out of your element. You have allready done most of the work so, it shouldn't take an electrician long to figure this out and correct it. Be safe.

| Dan, My question is where is the feed for the circuit?DO NOT HOOK UP THE NEUTRALS TO GROUND THIS IS DANGEROUS.
