I have a GFCI outlet in the dining room....a Dimmer switch is run off of this outlet....the dimmer switch controls outdoor lamp posts with receptacles.
In the Box I have the following:
2-wire from the panel coming into the box
2 wire from the switch coming down into the box
2-wire going to the next outlet on the circuit
.......then Black, white, green, & blue wire coming into the box from the outdoor lamp posts with receptacles
I need to look at the wiring at the Lamp Posts for the lights & receptacles.....But.....please help if this holds true:
Wires coming into the box from the outside: If the Blue Wire goes to the Lights of the Lamp Post & the Black & White go to the outlets on the Lamp Post:
Thinking I would pigtail the Power from the Panel and run one black to LINE side of the GFCI and the other Black to the Dimmer Switch....Black from outside outlets on lamp posts also connected to this pigtail for constant power to the outlets.
Pigtail the White (neutral) from the panel and connect to White (neutral) of the outlets on the Lamp Post & white to the LINE side of GFCI.
Blue line coming into the box connects to the White wire leading to other side of Dimmer Switch (Switch Leg).
(Would it be common to have the Blue Wire feed the lamp post lights and the Black & White feed the receptacles of the lamp post?)
LOAD side of GFCI - leave as is running to the next outlet on the circuit.
Any opinions on this configuration would help.
Thank you in advance!
